MP, robot tourney, best hand South

I was in good company, conceding 670 for about 30% MP score.
One player managed to beat the contract by winning the opening Heart lead and switching to a trump at trick 2, then misplayed by GIB (it still makes with an overtrick at DD).
Personally I would have pulled the double with North, although I am torn between options, but what say all y'all?

GIB very often passes doubles in this situation. My guess is that it includes to many off-shape doubles in its simulatons.

I would have pulled to 3♦.
