Here is an interesting hand that was a push. What do you rebid with my hand, given our methods?

We play 2♥ as an instant double negative (or negative). Five clubs should have no real play (off two aces and I have to play hearts from hand plus a possible spade loser). So my choices are 3♣ which we hadn't discussed as forcing or not, or my choice of a gambling 3NT and hope they can't get 5 tricks before I get in. I didn't think the decision was close.

The auction was more scientific at the other table. South rebid 3♣ and north bid 3♦ allowing a more confident 3NT.

clear 3nt - stiff K is a fair approximation at a stop, more so in a blind auction.

trying to get to 5c when it's right is just too optimistic.

spades is unlikely to play well - it will be wrong sided and you'll get tapped, potentially killing the club suit.
