My answer would depend on whether they were all adults/breeding size and if you plan to sell the babies or grow them up to build your colony. Assuming they are all adults, then,

1. Pair one of the het pieds to the pied female, back up the male with the other het pied male. Sell the one het male who doesn't breed/lock up as well as the other. Keep your fingers crossed. Keep all pieds produced (hope one is a male so you can sell both het male pieds) and sell the hets.
2. Pair both het pied males to the het pied female. Sell what you produce.
3. Breed your albinos together. Keep one of the female hatchlings to grow up and sell the rest. If you don't get a female you might be able to trade a male albino hatchling for a female hatchling from another breeder.
4. Breed your albino male to your het g-stripe female (I just love albino g-stripes). Hold a pair of the double hets back and sell the others.
5. Breed your pastel and spider male to your normal female. Maybe you'll get lucky and get both snakes out of the clutch. (You'll probably wish you had kept more normal females instead of selling them). Hold back a pastel female and a spider female for future combos. Sell the rest.

I'm sure there are many different answers to your question . . . this is just how I'd do it. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
