best is 1S followed by X.

2nd option is 2S at round one

I don't like 2♠. Yes, we have 6 of them, but it looks more like a 5 card suit to me. It seems better to bring ♦ in the picture, partner can easily show preference with 2♠ so we'll end up in a good fit if we have one. Dbl is more flexible (also brings ♥ into the picture) but I don't have much tricks in defense and I'm afraid partner will pass it out. So I'll bid 2♦.

I'm heartened by the fact that nobody could actually bring themselves to click the Pass option in the poll. It's a bit like when people say they are going to vote for the LibDems, but come election time never do.

I never vote in a poll that ascribes a motive to my choice. It's like the difference between voting for the LibDems, and voting for the LibDems whilst simultaneously endorsing their policy on the rights of insects.

Yeh, I have trouble with polls which list the alternatives but add thoughts which are not mine, also. Tagging on just the systemic meaning of an alternative is fine, though.

Maybe the OP's who ascribe motive could give us outs:
