If 3N does not deny a stopper then you have to start with 3C just in case you have no stopper (imo).

If 3N does deny a stopper then I'm all for it. This is a typical scenario will more scientific bidders will prefer starting with 3C anyways (you might be wide open in a major, etc etc), and the bashers will prefer 3N so that you don't give away additional information about the lead in case it's relevant.

If you don't play 3C as forcing then your system is broken, but yeah 3N.

It would be helpful if you specified what kind of methods you want to assume since lebensohl is "standard" but not standard.
