Which move makes attacking on the Kingside easier, dxe5 or fxe5?

Which move makes attacking on the Kingside easier, dxe5 or fxe5?

The evaluation for both moves is basically the same (+1.1) but I'm never sure about which one to take with in these Pirc structures (not necessarily this exact position).

fxe5 opens the f file, but then I worry the attack will be distracted by pressure on the d4 pawn or something and im not sure if having the ability to play f5 would be helpful.

Every time it says Black is better but I don't know what to do so I always lose my advantage. I don't get how to attack on the Kingside correctly, and there doesn't seem to be play on the Queenside unless the C file opens, which White can avoid by not playing d4.

Is there any study material for this (a model game?)

or a cheesy line against it— maybe something other than 2...d5?

This game is how most of my games go but I have zero clue what to do for a plan after d3: https://lichess.org/O1NE8mX5#5
