When you breed a male het albino to 3 visible albino females, the result will be identical to breeding a male visible albino to 3 het albino females. The odds on the clutches and the hatchlings will be the same. But one of these two options makes less sense and will be more expensive.
But if 5 BPs are upper limit, it gets difficult. I would say 2 male 3 female, and take care the males carry lots of good genes 
You know, I had this whole long thing defending my position typed out, then I actually stopped and re-read what you posted and realized that you're absolutely right. Dammit. I'm definitely not giving up my albino girl, she's teh awesome, but I'm most likely going to need to snag a 1.0 albino too, eventually. For now I need to be focusing on finding homes for the missteps that I've made and acquiring spider and enchi het albino females...
That's the problem with getting into a hobby too fast, you realize that you've gone down one path too far and have to backtrack. I appreciate the advice, and apologize if I've been pigheaded up to this point.
As for the normal female... unfortunately it still doesn't make sense for me to keep her.
