4NT 2-suited or 5NT pick a slam. Please add these to your poll (new function, great!) 
4NT is probably better, if partner bids 5♦ we can bid 6♣ showing extra long ♣ and exactly 4♥.

I bought 4♠, thinking it should garantee 4-5♥ and a max pass.
partner bid 5♦.
Does it show a minimum take-out dbl with longer ♦?
I thought 4NT would show the minors (no 4♥) and 5♥ a mini take-out with 4-5♥. So 5♦ should be one suited, not per se very strong bcs could just hope for a ♠ stop.
Anyway, I continued with 5NT to let p choose a minor. It went 6♦ end.

I would bid 4♥ and hope - for a fit and that I bid enough.
There are many decent takeout doubles where slam has no play.

4♥ and 5♣ both seem reasonable to me, I don't have very strong feelings about either, spade shortness makes me think partner could be 3451 or 3343 so either can be very wrong. I'd go with 4♥ wich is lower, and it is better than partner bidding 5♦ over 5♣.
