Best option is different for Lyme and Devil
From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)
At persuasive 138, I have 78% at option 4 and 76% at option 5. Both have about 82 expected glim and 2.3 Pygmalion. However, the 4th option has one menace point for the devil and two for Lyme. I value the menaces at 0.25 actions, so my actual action consumption is 1.11 for option 4 and 1.06 for option 5. This leaves option 4 at an expected 73 glim and 2.11 Pygmalion, and option 5 at 77 glim and 2.15 Pygmalion.
