In nearly every single circumstance, please bid the higher-ranking of two five card suits first.

Checklist for you:

- Over 3♦, 4♠ as a splinter is a standout. Hopefully this is a enough for partner for 6.
- Confirm you play Lebensohl with your partner, so 3m actually shows some values.

You forgot to include "undo" as a poll option.

Some days you just get lucky and find the promised land after making the wrong bid, this is one of those days. 4♠looks like it is right on the money and the obvious choice to me.
