White to move and win. How should White proceed?

Bg6 and then attack on f8 and h7 squares?
I think Bxe6 and white wins in every variations at least enought material to win!
1.Bg6 wins.
The main variation is
1..Qf6 (1..Rg8 2.Bxh7 Kxh7 3.Qh4+ Kg6 4.Rd3)
2.Qe2 Qe7 (may be better 2..hxg6, but white is won)
3.Qh5 h6 4.Qh4! Rf6 (4..Rxf1+ 5.Rxf1 Qc5 6.Qg3)
5.Rxf6 gxf6 (5…Qxf6 6.Rd8+)
6.Qxh6+ Kg8 7.Rd8+ Qxd8 8.Qh7+ Kf8 9.Qf7X
Bg6 wins..
1.Bg6 Rg8
2.Bxh7 Kxh7
3.Qh4+ Kg6
4.Rd3 Qh5
5. Rg3+ Kh6
6. Qf4+
Bg6!
h
I’d say Bxe6 is not enough:
1. Bxe6 Bxe6
2. Qxf8+ Rxf8
3. Rxf8+ Bg8
White threatens Rd8, but has to take care of his own king first.
I think Bg6 does the trick.
Bg6
1 Bxe6 !!
if 1 … Bxe6 then 2 Qxf8+
or 1 … Rxf2 then 2 Rd8+
Bxe6
1. Bg6 is also interesting.
1…R:f2?? 2. Rd8+
1…Qf6 2. Qe2 threatening Qh5
1…Rg8 2. B:h7 K:h7 3. Qh4+ Kg6 4. Rd3
Bg6 is winning
1.Bxe6!!
I vote for Bh5.
Bxe6 is loosing, because of Bxe6 and the black bishop can go back to g8.
I would Say 1.bg6 then if black plays ..Qf6 then 2. Qxc5
