To bid 5spade on this hand looks very unilateral to me, so my vote would go to double. Assuming that ends the bidding, how would you defend when partner leads spade5. Your methods are to lead the second highest from poor suits - even when the suit is partner's. South plays spade8 on your jack, and you can tell that either spade8 is a singleton or a baby false card from spade87. Over to you.
