6♣. I expect 12 tricks in clubs a huge majority of the time. Huge.

6♣ - might be wrong but probably not. And they'll save a lot anyway.

I'll bid 5♥. I got a pretty good hand in context.

Doesnt that show 1st round control of hearts?

Anyway I would bid 6C but I am not very happy about our chances, definitely not so happy to try for grand.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

6 ♣ is enough, second choice would be 5 spade.

Big fit, but no side source for tricks, if partner has heart shortness we will have a close to mirror shape.

But with 3136 partner would rather double than bid clubs IMO, he surelly has 2 spades or 2 diamonds, ideal would be 2227, but missing 2 aces is certainly possible. Still I agree that 12 tricks or a phamtom defence its the best tactic. 6♣.
