What breeding combinations would you make ?

Ok, the primary goal is to produce a good variety of pond quality koi in the varieties of Showa/Sanke, Kohaku, Shiro-Utsuri. However, secondary goal is learning how specific male parings affect offspring.

I realize my choices are low here with only one female Showa (I have other females, but they are non-gosanke). So should I just do a flock spawning, or would you recommend some strategic parings ? Like trying Showa/Sanke 2005, then Showa/Kohaku 2006, then Showa/Shiro Utsuri 2007 ?

#1 Showa (breeder unkown), Female, 6 year old, 25"
#2 Torazo Sanke, Male, 5 years old, 25"
#3 Nogami Kohaku, Male, 2 years old, 18"
#4 Kaneko Shiro Utsuri, Male, 2 years old, 14"
