The main candidates seem to be 7/3 7/2 and 8/3 6/2. In this sort of situation it's usually worth checking how many immediate blotting rolls you have, assuming the opponent "does nothing." After 7/3 7/2 I don't think you have any immediate blotting numbers. After 8/3 6/2, 63 53 43 all blot immediately. The advantage of holding the bar point is that it is a blocking point, so for example Black will be forced to crunch if he rolls 33. But I think that avoiding blotting numbers takes precedence here, so I would play 7/3 7/2.

You might try uncrunching Black's front position to see if that makes any difference, though my guess is that 7/3 7/2 will still come out on top.
