My preference is 2♥. I like to bid my 5 card majors. Dbl second.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

I prefer dbl, but would definitely bid 2♥ in some circumstances.

favorable imps pd deals and passes (denying 10+ unbal/12+bal), RHO opens 1♠ and you look at:

<!-- ONEHAND begin --><table border='1'> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td> Dealer: </td> <td> North </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Vul: </td> <td> N/S </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Scoring: </td> <td> IMP </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td> <table> <tr> <th> <span class='spades'> ♠ </span> </th> <td> x </td> </tr> <tr> <th> <span class='hearts'> ♥ </span> </th> <td> QJ9xx </td> </tr> <tr> <th> <span class='diamonds'> ♦ </span> </th> <td> Jxx </td> </tr> <tr> <th> <span class='clubs'> ♣ </span> </th> <td> AKJ9 </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td>  </td> </tr> </table><!-- ONEHAND end -->

how close is your choice?

Do not understand the opening gambit 'favourable imps'.It seems to me N is dealer .N/S vul ; so vulnerability is unfavourable.P has denied 10 + unbal 12 +bal so game is unlikely.I am passing at this vul ; with any other vul I will double.
If LHO passes P will balance with appropriate hand.If LHO bids 2 ♠ (presumably weak) I will reopen with a double.In all other situations I will be better off passing.

the hand diagram is wrong. it was favorable imps.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
