Classical KID Question....

Hello everyone, 

I just lost this 5-0 game in which my opponent played quite well and I couldn't wriggle out of the crappy endgame which resulted:

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. Ne1 Nd7 10. Nd3 f5 11. Bd2 Nf6 12. f3 f4 13. c5 g5 14. Rc1 Ng6 15. cxd6 cxd6 16. Nb5 Rf7 17. Qc2 Ne8 18. a4 Bf8 19. Nf2 h5 20. h3 Rg7 21. Qb3 Nh4 22. Rc2 g4 23. fxg4 Nf6 24. Be1 hxg4 25. hxg4 Bxg4 26. Bxg4 Nxg4 27. Nxg4 Rxg4 28. Qh3 Qg5 29. Bxh4 Rxh4 30. Qe6+ Kh8 31. Rf3 Qh5 32. Qf6+ Bg7 33. Qxh4 Qxh4 34.
Rh3 Qxh3 35. gxh3 Bf8 36. Rc7 a6 37. Na3 b5 38. a5 Bh6 39. Kf2 f3 40. Kxf3 Bd2 41. Kg4 Bxa5 42. Rd7 Bb4 43. Nc2 Bc5 44. b4 Bf2 45. Rxd6 Rc8 46. Rc6 {Black resigns} 1-0

My question is this: 

Let's take the normal move order (I think) of 18...h5 19. Nf2 and now, what move do you KID experts prefer? I played 19...Bf8, but 19...Bd7 is also a prominent option. I was wondering what move you think is best. I am interested in trying out 19...Bd7 20. Qb3 Bf6!? from Golubev's book, with the idea of 21...Qb8 and 22...Bd8. A little slower, but might allow Black to fix his problem of the Bg7 and also slow down White on the queenside. It might be good for a little surprise value as well.
