How do you decide on which P4 to play?

[cdax]

As far as contest play goes, what's your criteria for picking early or late pick 4?

I've been tossing a few ideas around in my head on which to pick.

Probably the best is just choose the one you fell most confident with. Which for me usually ends up being the lowest paying (if I get it right, which isn't often). But what if your not real confident in either?

1) - Would you cap the p4 with the least amount of starters to get a better shot at cashing (with lower payout)?

2) - After capping both, do you play the ticket with the fewest amount of contenders in order to hit it multiple times?

3) - One I'm looking at now, do you cap both and total up the lowest price horse in each leg to get an idea (if your favorites hit) which will pay more?

4) - Just convenience, only have enough time to get it in.

Just wondering. No matter what you HAVE to have the winners within your contenders.
