Which is the best cracking mode?

[ly88888]

this is exaclty what i mean with style 5, e.g. abcde5edcba, this pw is cracked in seconds even on my plain cpu machine and even when using the whole ruleset i posted above

so i think the problem is anywhere else, can you post output of 

hashcat -I
and
hashcat -b -m0

I've seen that when evaluating rules, memory keeps increasing until there is not enough memory to cause an error, so I think this method is difficult to crack over 6 bits in length unless you have enough memory
