6♣ definitely. If we can't make 6 ♣, they must be pretty close to making 5 or 6 ♠s.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

6♣.

The last time I didn't raise partner's suit with AKQxx and extras I... wait, that didn't happen yet :D

(I am lying, it actually happened not long ago, and we missed a 17 trick grand slam)

I will win it on another board.
I pass.
Maybe a lot of tables play 4 Spade, so I may be in a good position already. To bid 6 club is only good when it is making or when many tables are in 5 Spade making and 6 Club X is cheaper. I don't like the odds.
Kind Regards

6♣, but thinking it's more likely to be a good save than a make, though either is possible.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
