Wow, I think 3♥ is absolutely clearcut, I'm surprised by the style here.

The fact that you don't see a unanimous view among the posters suggests that this is a good problem and not a boring one.

I would X initially as I want to involve partner with such a good support in all 3 suits. One can build hands where a minor game/slam is cold, but harder to get at after a 2♥ overcall.

The bigger problem for me is choosing between 2 and 3♥ after prd'X.
The likely wasted K♠ argues for 2♥, but the strength and 5th ♥ argues for 3♥.

I really don't have a problem with the auction given up to the 4♠ bid.
I'd hit it with the W hand on the principle of taking a smaller but likely plus instead of gambling for a larger plus by bidding more.
