What's best with this 22?

Holding both six-away points is often a good way to block the opponent, so my first instinct is 20/18(2), but I've also found that when this far behind in the race with this much contact left, abandoning the 20pt is often premature. If Black were more stripped, I would try 20/18(2), but here I think I will hold on to the 20pt.

Then I am certainly holding on to the midpoint to keep pressure on Black's bar-point anchor. That leaves me with two possible 2's to play up front (5/3(2)) and various 2's to play from the 24pt. I would try 24/16 trying to gain some flexibility while keeping a guard on the 24pt to make it awkward for Black to dump checkers in his board.
