13/8 doesn't have much upside and it leaves your back men vulnerable to being primed so the choice IMHO is between S 24/21 13/11,Z 13/10 24/22, or U 24/21 24/22. Z is usually very slightly better than S and that looks to be the case here so it's either that or U. U looks better to me since 1)It gives you a direct shot to make the 3/4 point if the 4/3 pt gets pointed on. 2) The double hits are kept to a minimum since some of black's aces are duped (41,21,11). 3) If Black hits loose you'll have a double shot at getting a good game by hitting back or anchoring. 4) If Black fails to hit, you'll have any ace, 43, or 65 to link up plus 66 to get them both out and around. 5) It doesn't leave an outer board blot so it doesn't risk having a 3rd checker sent back.

24/21 24/22.
