Sorry, I can't answer the first poll question unless you edit the options to include "Natural, constructive" or similar.

Even the second question might need an additional option. Playing Lebensohl, what would you bid after (2♠)-dbl-(Pass) holding:
♠8xxx ♥8xx ♦Jxx ♣AKQ?

Sometimes there's no bid whose definition exactly matches your hand, and you have to improvise by choosing the least lie.

we play Reverse Lebensohl, i.e. the good hands go through 2NT.

Does not change my answers, but to play / expecting partner to pass a 3C
response gets a slightly different meaning, than if 3C would promise a
certain strength.

With kind regards
