Any suggestions of what rule might work the best and be most efficient?

If you will try all possibilities random from 8 to 20 characters,.. this is futile,.. If you think you know aproximation of a password, then write it, yace in txt and then run rule over your possible passwords,.. everything else is almost futile. 

example:  hashcat -a 1 -m 15700 your_wallet_hash.txt 1.txt 2.txt -r your_rule.rule
