White on red, I would choose 2♠, although I expect to catch flak over this from some posters. Pass is a close second choice.

If I opened 2♠ I would think about bidding again even in situations wherein I was not 'supposed to'. I recall this was a tactic favoured by Zia back a number of years ago. I don't know whether he would still bid the same way, but he then advocated, iirc, that with this sort of hand one can't justify a 1-bid, and yet bidding 2♠ and never bidding again, absent partner asking you to bid, wasn't much better...and, probably for the reasons you see, passing is very unattractive.
I really hate 4♠, btw. I'd have more, but still not much, sympathy of our major were hearts, since they may choose 4♠ rather than pass a double, but over 4♠ they are more likely to convert a double than to take it out, and on most layouts, when it is close, they will be doing well to defend.

the former action would be the safer, descriptive route, whereas the latter would be the aggressive, more variance producing route. fwiw, make my spades better (kjt) and i'd bid 4s, but with the dodgy suit i'll pass and show a 2-suiter.
really hate 2s. your hand is too good for only 1 call, but bidding again is likely to involve having to act at the 4 level.

Maybe ZAR could open this one 1♠, but I won't.

The 'zia' approach is interesting, hadn't heard about it before.
