I guess I'll play one for black.

preventing the double atari seems like the only option for black.
I selected the solid connection because this avoids bad aji.
Q10 is also in a nice spot giving black quite some solid points on the right.
I did not play at a in the diagram below because playing at a leaves cutting-points
that for example make the marked white (endgame) move dangerous for black.
and it would also leaves some nasty aji behind.

so black gets to keep sente as well, which is nice.

A pincer is not an option, so I considered the low extension, the high extension and the large low extension. The large low extension is too loose and does not work best with the left side!
For the high extension I was afraid that black might play
which takes away the big side that we have.
Although if black doesn't play there, 'a' would be the perfect spot for white.
$$Wc Prisoners - B:0 W:0

we can either ignore it or play
to cause complications. If he plays elsewhere
is a big corner for us which also aims at
too.

There is a proverb somethng like "A move on the border of two moyos counts double"
We have a big territory building up on the right side, white has one starting on the bottom. Playing at the border between them accomplishes two things: it surrounds our territory, and it pushes down / invades theirs. One is defensive, one is offensive, thus it is said to be worth double.
Compare the above position with the one below.
$$Wc Prisoners - B:0 W:0
Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Wc Prisoners - B:0 W:0My estimate is that the net difference between the two positions is something around 40 points.
BTW, it is sente. It threatens this reduction:

After over a year of contemplation, think that the obvious move is indeed the best move.
