78p with the goal of staying closed. sha/pei shabo is strong in an even situation, and it forces a stronger final waiting shape while also preserving safety. there are enough points to make a push worth it, but not so much that we need to risk everything for it. sha pon is also reasonable if it comes.

start with 2p. 4p, 67m, 2s8s can all be connected to. I won't take less than 2 han and a good wait in the end. 789/678 sanshoku is also still possible, but the final wait shape is more important so I will discard 2p first and see where I can find better shapes...
