Lots of choices in this early game position. B/24 6/2, B/24 10/6, B/24 8/4, B/24 13/9, B/20, B/21 8/7, or B/21 6/5. 24 & 4 looks best to me. Staying on the 24 keeps your back checker mostly out of harm's way and might allow you to hit if Black fails to cover his 3-point. If you enter on the 24, slotting the 4-pt looks to be the best 4. This leaves 11 shots, 7 of which hit and cover or hit twice. None of these 7 are the end of the world of course and you don't lose nearly as much on 61 and 41 since they leave Black with a realy blotty position (so much so that he might pass on hitting with a 61).
