Help me choose the best game

[clouds]

Hi Everybody,

I am looking over the rules for some games and was curious to know which one is the best to play. Which factor would you say is most important and beneficial for a counter's odds? Is it late surrender? Dealer staying on soft 17? Dealer peeking for BJ? Just wanted to know what rule gives me the biggest advantage or should be the biggest incentive to play as a card counter.

Here are three games all have individual perks about them, but which one should I decipher as the best to play?

Game 1:
8 decks, dealer stands on soft 17, dealer peeks for BJ, no surrender, DAS and you can't resplit aces.

Game 2:
6 decks, dealer hits soft 17, dealer peeks for BJ, late surrender (even on ace), DAS and you can't resplit aces.

Game 3:
4 decks, dealer hits soft 17, dealer DOES NOT peek for BJ, late surrender (not against an ace), DAS and you can't resplit aces.

I appreciate the help from all of you experts and look forward to the explanations,

The 3 most important factors are

1. In the games that peek can you sit at first base and see the dealers hole card when he peeks under a 10. If so that is the best game.

2. Penetration. You left out the penetration. 8 decks deal 7 1/2 is better than 4 decks deal 2. If all penetration is equal (say 75%) then the fewer number of decks is best.

3. Game speed. A heads up game is better than a full table.

By how much percent is the 4 deck game better than the 8 deck game? They are all equal in penetration, about 75-80%.
