Nc3 looks best. It doesn't appear the sac is needed to maintain an advantage;
in fact it may cede the advantage. Black's attack on the kingside is not
rolling as yet, and white's defensive resources look adequate. However, if I
was going to sac on the queenside, I think Rc6 might be the way to go. FWIW
