Omaha/8 best starting hand?

The pundits all agree the best starting hand in Omaha/8 or better is A-A-2-3 double suited.  Who can argue?  But be careful.  This hand is nothing like pocket aces in Texas Hold'Em which is a 4-1 favorite over an under pair.  This best starting hand in Omaha/8 only wins the high half of the pot 5.5% of the time and the low half 9%.  It scoops 28% of the time.  So what have we learned here?  Don't go crazy when dealt this hand!  What's the worst starting hand in Omaha/8?   2-2-2-2 !  Can you Imagine being dealt quads is a bad thing?
