If JLOL is bidding at the 5 level, it MUST be right.

5♠ for me. I suppose an odd layout could make 5♥ better, but thre is no way to know.

Right. It is important I think to keep in mind that partner with a goodish hand is under pressure to act - we cannot hold him to perfect shape in this situation. Make the practical bid again - support spades.
