Cutting 9 from 6779 is usually the right move because the wait on 8 is redundant.

9p is also the correct discard in that pictured hand. You move back a shanten, but you minimize the effect of backfires. 5/8p still advances the hand, and it's not much of a loss to have a lone 4p instead of a 46p, or a 4567p shape with a slight chance of furiten.

On the other hand, cutting 6m or any of the sou and then drawing 4/5/6/7/8m or 1/3/6/8s is far more disastrous. There's little point into rushing toward a tenpai that is both yakuless and a bad wait by keeping 9p.
