I think G is probably the better move but I find that position to be tricky to play, so I'd be tempted to do L

Common dilemma. I always favoured sending A to L; if you don't, there's a good chance you're still going to have the two of them sitting at G late in the game. Trying to free up just the one guy later in the game, I found that easier.

yeah i feel like sending them both to G involves hoping for doubles

That's the only way you're going to get them to safety. And likely, it'll probably have to be 4-4 or 5-5; lower can still be awkward, and 6-6 probably won't help.

I don't think the G play is hoping for doubles - it's threatening to hit their pieces that are trying to get past G. It's an aggresive play.

but with both at G, orange can just dump whatever it wants A-F with no consequences

It's tempting to move both to G to block a six from orange's M but I agree, you're letting orange free to set up on A to F.
