3 ♠ in a flash.
What's outstanding feature of your hand? ♠. It would be nice to find a ♥ fit if one exists, but tell you partner the main feature of your hand. If the ♠ are bad, say ♠ Axxxx ♥ KQxx ♦ Kxx ♣ x, then you might consider doubling rather than bidding ♠.
Like one late great player I knew always said, "Bid what you've got!!"

I'm suspecting partner had x, AKxxx Qxxx, xxx... and 3♠ went off on a foul split with 4♥ cold. 3♠ seems fairly obvious. Also depends if I know my opponents, against me partner could easily have a stiff spade and 4 trump tricks so X becomes more attractive.

Personally I find this interesting and close. I would X but not sure it's right
"definitely that's what I like to play when I'm playing standard - I want to be able to bid diamonds because bidding good suits is important in bridge" - Meckstroth's opinion on weak 2 diamond

I think I would X
As well as not burying the Heart suit it also protects the position where partner has a penalty X of Clubs (or penalty pass of t/o X of Clubs, which is effectively the same thing but with a weaker lower strength limit). It is not inconceivable that Diamonds may be the right spot.
