DQ: make bar point or point deep?

Making the bar looks kind of useless to me here. If it looks attractive to you, then ask yourself why you think it's attractive. The one thing that can be said in its favor is that it makes a three-prime, but Blue's structure is not conducive to priming. He has awkward stacks and a stripped midpoint. White is already split. Having stacks and 10 checkers in the zone, Blue's structure is more suited to attacking. On top of that, hitting gains a tempo. White's structure is currently a bit disjointed, and she would love to have her full roll to anchor, clean up her blots, or perhaps attack herself. Hitting takes away half her roll.

It's very important to learn to assess both priming potential and attacking potential instead of "seeing" only one or the other.
