Easy math kind of for straight rakeback. J is 30% if you don't VIP points > 15k per month, others are less Q gear is more. Some issues if you dig deeper .. double point days, bonus redemption, and finally freerolls. If your new you can't do anything but gears, so your only choice is grind and get your points up.
You get 10 points per $1 raked, if you know the rake per hand or per 100 you can calc out the # of hands to play to get to the higher gears. 10K is pretty quick $1000 raked, 50K to J gear and then 100K on Q gear. With bonus and double point days you can get to almost break even at J gear and I switched, since I can get to Q gear 35% faster and then rakeback and VIP per month are equal. Remember, double point days only help with cash from gear levels not on transitions through levels or bonus redemption. Rakeback is paid daily which helps hold you up turn down swings to keep earning at higher buy ins. If you can reload or keep a bigger balance it doesn't matter, if not then I think rake back is always best until Q gear and you have some bonus active.
TLDR, rakeback is better unless at Q gear and maybe J gear, if new doesn't matter just get to grinding. When you redeem your points matters also as you don't have to do it by end of month you can redeem anytime, but only up to 3 times per month at any given level. Break out the excel and do the calcs you play poker, so should be easier than EV calcs.
