One box, of course. Trying to outsmart an AI for a piddly little 0.1% increase in payoff is stupid.

Now if the payoff were reversed a player with high risk tolerance might reasonably go for some clever two-box solution... but the odds of success would be quite low, so one-boxing would still be the conservative strategy.
