Side counting aces is usually for betting. If the count is not ace neutral then there is not much betting gain. Then you are side counting almost exclusively for insurance. Playing side count gains are proportional to the PE of the inside counted count. That makes hilo a poor choice to make side counting for gains in PE. Zen on the other hand has a reasonable starting PE as an ace compromise count. That makes it better suited for side counting for playing hands. Everyone talks about chasing pennies. If you are going to the effort to side count then choose a count that will make it the most worth it. Obviously ace neutral counts are the kings for PE. But you already side count the aces if you use one of them. Not many will want to side count more than one rank. If you are one that would you add the 7 side count to the ace side count with an ace neutral count. Those that only want to side count one rank find Zen to be a perfect count for side counting 7's.
