4♠ and cross my fingers. I'm sitting for a double and crossing my toes.

I will double. "X".
My partner passed LHO's 1♣,so he hasnot a 5-card suit,and cannot takeout double,
or has a good Club-suit.
Bid 4♠ looks like a idea,but ♠ suit is poor.Who has the other ♠ card, my partner or LHO?
Let partner choose Offense or Defense.

If I could say, "My x is for take out pd!", then I would x. My x is for take out but these are often left in at this level , and anyway, pd will not expect this hand. I will bid 4S here, fully prepared to run if doubled. The problem is good opponents don't double if they suspect there is a better spot.

4S.

I dont think your chances of hitting a big fit are that different in one from the other. And its quite common that partner has enough in either than you can draw trumps and you are just off a few top tricks.
