You open 1♦, and partner responds 1♠.
What's the best rebid here? 2♣, 2♦, 2♠, 3♥, 3♦ all seem options

Not enough for a 3D rebid.
In my partnership, we raise often with 3 card support. So, I will bid 2D for now and later show 3 card support. This guarantees extras for us, since we would just raise 1S to 2S with minimum hand.
Is 3H really an option, btw?

2 Diamond you are allowed to have max once in a while. And the singelton King may or may not have his full value anyway.
I try to raise with 3 card support as seldom as possible, else this is the alternative.

I would take a shot with 3♦ second choice would be 2♠

2♦. Heart king is questionable and we only have xxx spades.
Worst bid out of the choices given I'd say would be 3♥ which is wrong on so many levels. And I've also never been a fan of the 2♣ style.

2♦ seems obvious to me. I'd go for 2♣ with 3♦ as an alternative if the majors were Kxx x, but that is quite a huge difference.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Yeah 2D is obvious to me as well. Raising with 3 to encourage partner to try for game when he has 5 spades and a hand that would pass 2D is nice, but with 3 small spades and six small diamonds it just rates to get us to a losing partial too often imo.
The hand is simply not good enough for 3D, and 2C accomplishes nothing (if we survive it then we get to bid 2S next which shows a hand too good to raise to 2S to begin with? No thanks!)
