Personally, I would always open North's hand with 1. You have an easy rebid over anything might throw at you (2NT if she bids 2 or 2, 4 if she bids hearts) and you get your pre-emptive major in early. After all, we can't have partner playing the cards, can we?

Well, actually, yes we can. At the table North preferred the American style 5 card major system and opened the bidding with 1, South bid 1 and North raised to 3. All South's points were working wonderfully well and he had no hesitation in bidding the 10 trick game.

West leads Q. How do you play?
