2 seems pretty obvious.

I agree, 2H seems best. You aren't good enough to pass or bid 2NT. And yes, partner may have 4 Spades, but 2S would be game forcing by you. But this isn't a GIB issue, it is a tradeoff for playing support doubles.

Not playing support doubles, and giving partner say Kxxx, Kxx, AQJx, xx, Partner would have to pass. Tough to find Spades over the interference.

GIB passed, which turned out to be correct opposite what I had. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was similar to AKx Axx AQJxx xx
