Looking for input on gearing for sand/mud on the 23+ ktm/husky/24+GG 350s. Is going to a 14/53 the go to choice, or is there ssomething else better?

I like 14/53 gearing on my 24 350. 
Mostly ride sand tracks.

We like switching to 13 front. Cheaper, easier. Closes the gap between 2nd 3rd. Sx and xcf models

I think the 23+ 350 is about the only bike they don't recommend the +1 🤣

For me +1 help a lot. It is something you have to try..
For me I felt like I needed little better/quicker pickup when using 3rd gear in corners. Im light weight and I can get away with using 3rd gear in most corners. If you use 2nd gear in corners then adding a tooth wouldnt help..

I actually did the opposite. I felt like every track I was in 3rd and 4th gear only. 2nd gear was way too short and half way through corners I would need to shift however if i tried to use 3rd to enter it didn't have enough grunt to roll through the corner without the use of the clutch.  I went to a 50 tooth. I use 2nd in the corners and 3rd in the straights. It also shortened the gap between 3rd and 4th. I have to shift a bit more but to me the power is much more on point where i need it.
