I never had this hand.
I would bid 3D, I dislike double.

If we are in a complete misfit, we want to double the opponents. If not, we want to be in game or more. At this point in the bidding, i think X is the most flexible bid. Anything else lets the opponents off the hook too quickly.
Some of the North hands posted pose interesting problems after 1D - (p) - 2C - (2NT) - X - (3H).
For example, with xxx - AJx - Kx - KQJxx, i don't think i would double 3H unless white vs red. I would give serious consideration to 3NT.
With xx - A876 - Kx - KQJxx, i find the choice very difficult. With much weaker spots in hearts (A432) i would not double 3H. With better ones (AT9x) i would.

Nice to find someone who shares my own concerns
