Ladder breakers marked by a triangle stone.

A through C I think are all acceptable moves for white to play.]

With the hane at s16 both A and B groups are safe while C and D are the ones needing help.
A lot of players find that in either varations that white comes out on top with an edge, what is your opinion on the matter?
Why do you think so?]))

The marked stone is available aji and creates a big weakness in whites shape later if he is not careful. 
Also in this board position r16 is facing a direction white could not take full advantage against his opponent.
And in this case blacks stones at n4 and n5 make the bottom less interesting for white to build after his play with the pincer stone.
I was wondering what you thought about this peaceful varation vs white playing the hane at A instead of B.]))
