My own personal choice would be 6. Although you could construct many hands where it would be wrong, I have seen mostly good scores obtained by bidding very boldly at the first available opportunity when holding long suits like this. If it's the opposition's hand then you have made life very difficult for them, and it's your hand - then partner will have a good idea of what you have to help him.
