Playing standard I'd force to game.

Playing my methods I would show an invite with 5 hearts. If partner signs off in 3H I bid game. If partner signs off in 2NT I bid 3C natural.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

My prefered methods let me show 5-5 invitation with hearts and clubs, but barring that I also GF to get my shape across. Inviting without being able to show your shape is sick, you could very easily go down in 3NT with a slam in clubs.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Transfer to hearts. If RHO doesn't make a lead directing double, I'm inviting game with 2NT. If she does, I'll overbid 3C, get too high, and probably be back at the partnership desk.

If I can play Keri I invite with 4/5 hearts. If partner shows only 2 hearts (by pulling to 2S or 2NT) I bid 3C.

Interesting, how does p sign off in 2N other than by passing 2N? Have you inverted 2♠ and 2N after the transfer accept?

We bid 2S with the invite yes, 2NT would show a GF with hearts and clubs.

what if he passes 2♥ with 3 or 4? :P
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
