I don't like the plays which involve hitting loose on the ace-point. White doesn't have any particular threat in his offense, so Red doesn't need to make a tempo move.
Slotting White's bar-point with 23/18 looks to me the most productive 5. The downside to this play is that if White hits on his bar-point and Red fails to hit back, Red will be at a disadvantage.
On the other hand, if Red then hits back on White's bar-point or anchors with a 5-4 or a 3-2 (from the bar), Red may have the advantage.
Red's builder on his 9-point helps make the bar, 5 or 4-point. But if the game turns to a blot-hitting contest on White's side of the board (very likely), Red is unlikely to be able to build his board and the blot on the 9-point becomes a liability.
So, if Red chooses to split to White's bar-point, the most efficient ace has to be 9/8.
