I like both 4♥ and 1♥.
First instinct is "wtp 1♥" but putting some pressure may be better.

Not one of my partners would except hand that good for 3♥, even vulnerable.

since in SAYC PD will expect me to have more.


More of what ? You have more playing strength than standard 12 count with 6♥.
If you mean "more points" I don't see any point in worrying about this unless you play with someone who likes to double "because you opened and I have 8hcp partner" but then it's a problem with your partner not with opening...

I'd open 1H or 4H based on state of the match/event, opps, partner, my mood, whatever. It's purely a matter of tactics and how likely they are to double you or misjudge or overcompete over a preempt and how much variance you want etc. My standard would be to open 1H I guess.

Opening 3H seems like a joke to me.
