In such a position the usual move for me (and indeed pros with 415 out of 514 games) is the high approach to the corner, not the split. But then the following standard continuation is also fairly boring for me now, though I daresay your opponents will deviate:

There are other ways for black to answer the top right probe (it's a good lesson in efficiency, though recently it seems pros have changed their judgement and do now answer with extension to the outside, one reason is s18 as an answer to r17 if white tries to live there later), 21 could be at 22 if you want to fight (I recall it's an overplay but not easy to answer, Andrew Kay got it wrong against some German guy at the London tournament next to me a few years ago). I recall Park Junghwan tricked some Japanese pro with the hanging instead of solid connection (it was on gogameguru). So there's plenty for you to explore here.
