Well unless we can make quick headway on the kingside, I suspect that Black will try to come in on the queenside with Ba5-c3, Rb8-b2,etc.
Example - 19.h4, Bxf5; 20.gf, Ba5; 21.Qf4, Rb8.
I think that if Bxf5 we take with exf5 and run over the King side with g5. Moreover, all of the sudden, our bishop will find a new life with Bf3. I like that a lot. Black won't take on f5.

19.h4, Bxf5; 20.ef, Ba5; 21.Qc2, Re7; 22.g5, hg; 23.hg, Nd7 with Rh8 and Kg8 to follow?

You search deeper than me :-) but I think that after Nd7, Bf3-Nf4 white is n good shape. Nf4 before g5 is a good option too, to jump to d5 right after g5 or play g6+

20.Qf4 seems the only sensible choice, so it gets my vote too.
