@ezo, two comments:
I would like more information than just the expected value to make an informed decision. What does the bell curve (with the expected score "on top") look like for each of the numbers? (How likely is it that, say, that second number is a 15 instead of your 14? How big of a risk it ends up a 13 instead?)
Do you weigh the numbers of each array at all? I would say (15, 13, 12, 10, 8, 6) is at least as attractive as (14, 13, 12, 11, 9, 7) - your score in your most used ability is much more important than your three lowest scores. Getting one point higher in your "prime stat" is arguably worth getting even at the cost of having all three of your lowest scores lowered one point each.
