I have seen good players open a hand like this in this situation any number of spades from 1 to 4. Any level may work depending on the state of the game, the partnership style, the opponents, and, of course, the layout of the cards.

Personally, I think 3♠ is probably best in the long run.

IMNSHO ---One of those odd numbers= a Nigel 10; any even number= a Nigel 5. He is generous with his five's.

South doubled 5♠ holding Qxxxx of hearts? I wonder how many heart tricks he expected to take? My estimate would be minus 1.

Open 1S. Anything else is silly. You got lucky because you played against someone who has zero skills in hand evaluation.

1♠ is canonical. 2/3/4♠ are a bit gambling.. can work, but can also backfire.
