ANSWER: You have too much for a direct three hearts, so it is between a pragmatic four hearts and the slower, more scientific route of double followed by three hearts. Since the latter approach leaves three no-trump in the game, which may be high enough opposite a bust, I would double, hoping they do not compete at once to four spades!
