Early game had some tough decisions. I was really worried about aga which led me to put off Escape in favor of dipping EP (and getting the rupees from the right room past big key door). That wasted me some time as I had to go back and clear EP after nabbing the bow. In hindsight I don't think i would have minded doing full escape clear (6 items!) and then if I need to do aga just walk back up to hyrule castle again, so I regret that.
Lots of options open to you in this seed so it made sense to just go for efficiency plus crystal dungeons. I didn't have an opportunity to fake powder unfortunately but my saving grace was that I went and decided to do ToH early when it was the only thing open on the mountain. In hindsight that might not have been the best play (unless you already had fire rod and could have both red crystals) but it worked out for me as I never made it back to the mountain again, got to skip ALL of east DM since spike cave was my go mode hook.
Despite the minor grievances I stayed out of all pendant dungeons, got to go mode SP, and only had to double-dip EP, and routed fairly efficiently (flute helps a lot) so I can't really complain.
I feel like this seed has the chance to go off the rails if you get baited into full clearing the mountain + all of TR, etc but I found a relatively good route.
