Which restaurant should we pay OOP for?

I'm sure this gets asked a million times around here, but I need help figuring out which restaurants we should pay out of pocket for. I've been looking at different menus on AllEars and on Disney's website trying to get an idea of what we'd be ordering, but it's overwhelming.

We'll have 7 TS credits each (2 adults with free dining). We contemplated upgrading to the deluxe plan, but ultimately decided not to.

Our ADRs:
- 1TS: Mama Melrose's Fantasmic Package (Lunch)
- 1TS: Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining (Dinner) - we are going to pick just one
- 2TS: Jiko (Dinner)
- 2TS: Yachtsman's Steakhouse (Dinner)
- 2TS: Narcoossee's (Dinner)

I also want to eat lunch or dinner at Boatwright's since we are staying at POR, so that's another 1TS.

Which would you pay for OOP?

Again, I know this sort of depends on what you order but I'm looking for general input. Are some restaurants known to be a better deal on the dining plan?

Personally, I'd probably choose one of the 2TS places and have one person pay OOP there. Add an appetizer, share the dessert from the DDP diner, and you should have plenty.
