13/5 looks pretty. Duplicates 1s and 3s. brings a nice safe builder for the 4pt., and leaves a landing point for the straggler. How important the landing point is is key.. I reluctantly clear the 14pt instead. 14/11 14/9.

I'll go with 13/5 over 14/11 14/9 for two reasons:
Only 1 new blot instead of 2.
The 14-point connects to the 20, which might be useful for escaping. Great duplication either way.
