Anybody have methods for NS to bid confidently to the right contract? Or are we all just blasting and guessing here?

Yes, I play RKCB
I would bid 3♠ - 4♣ - RKCB->7♠.

4♦-5♠ would land in 7 in a inspired day
on a not so inspired day 4♦-4♠ ends the auction
I don't have ageements about 4♦-4♥ so would not make that bid.

bidding just 4S as PoC after a leaping michael is a joke IMO.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

oops I though 4♦ showed specifically spades for a strange reason.
But anyway, what I tried to say is this: I play very wide ranged leaping michaels, and this is awful for slam exploration

There seem many paths.
North could start with Double, 3♠, 4♦(Leaping Michaels). (Would rule out 4♠ as too unilateral).
Unfortunately the first 2 are subject to further preemption by East and hearing 5♣ next seems likely.
While I agree that Leaping Michaels can be an impediment to slam bidding, I don't think North's hand suffers that problem.
I think the following is a reasonable auction:
3♣-4♦-5♣-5♥
P-6♣-P-6♠
P-7♠
