Would you bid here or not? 2NT? 4♣(3♣ would show spades and clubs)? 4NT?
Between 4♣ and 4NT what's better and worse and why?

If you are too scared to bid 2N I feel like you should at least bid 1N. Side note: I think you should play raptor in this auction as opposed to 1N for the minors.

I don't think you will if opp now bids 3D showing H support and S. I think you have just helped the opps.

But why is everyone so concerned about ♠ suit ? It is usually a matter of to open or not when u are short in boss suit, but here they already opened. I do not understand the wish to bury their ♠ fit either. Why would i wanna bury their 4-4 ♠ fit ? I have great defense in ♠ contracts combined with pd's trump stack. I would bid 2NT for the reasons Justin explained, not for any reason about preventing their ♠ fit.
