IMP teams, 20 VP scale

♠xx ♥QT98xx ♦KTx ♣Jx

(p) 1H (2H) ?

2H explained as spades and clubs (at least 5-5)

What do you bid at a) love all, b) favourable vulnerability?

If our suit were ♠, I'd bid 4 immediately. But with hearts? It looks like opps will bid 4♠ and be in a good contract - or perhaps even find a good slam. (♦K is on.)

I believe if 4♥ were the answer, the question wouldn't be here. So let's try to be more creative. What will happen if I bid
(a) 4♣ (splinter);
(b) 5♥?
