2. ...Qe5 is better for black here.

After 3. Qxe5, black can give some problems with the d-pawn and attacking the
white king.  It looks fairly equal, IMO.

If 3. Qxf3, black also gets an attack on the white king. - 3. ...Nxf2 4. Qxf2
Rxg3+ 5. Kf1 Rxh3.  I'm sure black will at least be able to get a perpetual out
of this.  I'm going to let it run for a while to check both of these lines - I
could be wrong. :)
