Pro's seem to prefer enclosing a corner (A or B).
I however don't like giving K16 to black.
That would give black a moyo that is hard to invade.
One mistake in the invasion and the game is over.
to avoid this moyo I play K16 myself.
I still have good follow-ups at A and B, as well as aggressive options on the right.
I can fight there with the support of the K16 stone.]
