I'm definitely going to slam, I would just bid 6C. I don't see how to get to 6H when he has clubs and hearts (for instance if you think he'll bid hearts over 5N with that, then he will also bid diamonds over 5N when he has diamonds).

Agree with 6♣. They might even save over it.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

With an advanced partner I would bid 5Nt PAS that show 3 clubs or a red 2suiter. Partner will bid 5C everytime hes got 6 of them and will only bid 5D with 3 suiter 0445,1444 & with 1345,1435 (with lousy clubs)
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

We have two bids available to offer a choice of slams. It makes sense for 5♠ to show hearts and a minor, and 5NT to show both minors. That's consistent with other situations, like (3♥) 4♥/4NT. Maybe one should have a general agreement that with a choice of takeout bids at the same level you always use a Michaels/UNT structure.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Yes, until you decide that you want 5S to be a grand slam try with first round spade control, and 5NT just to be choice of slams with no grand ambitions (i.e. no spade control).
I agree your interpretation might be better (strain before level) but mine is what most people seem to play.
