Play weak NT, open 1♦ and rebid either 1NT or 2♣
Can understand the 2♦ rebid but I don't like rebidding a 5 card suit when other choices are available.

As this is a novice/beginner forum.
The "book" answer is to open 1♦ and rebid 2♣ which shows your shape and values.
Its then up to partner to set the contract as guess what he knows what you have and can judge the correct contract.
You bid 1NT and partner bids 3NT directly the lead is straight through whatever major values he holds...
Also you are "going" against the room and so get a swingy result as well.
Solid controlled bidding gets you to good contracts and develops good partnership relationships!
When you develop a strong partnership you can add 1NT here if you both agree to the associated risks...

1D, followed by 2C.
Opening 1NT with 5422 is ok, when the 4 card suit is the higer ranking
suit, due to rebid problems, here it is the lower ranking suit, hence
you have no rebid problem, why lie about your shape?
With kind regards

This is at best a neutral argument.
(1) it is not a lie if you have agreed to open 1N on that shape, and
(2) neither do you have a rebid problem if you open 1N.
1D may well be the better opener, but not I think for these reasons.
