Apologies, I just wanted to see what versions people play over 2C-2D-2H. I searched for previous threads, but not sure what people found 'best'.
We currently play 2C-
2D: 4+
2H: Double Negative
2S/3C/3D/3H: positive, 6+ suit with 2 of top 3 honours
2NT: 5/5 majors GF
2C-2D-2H puppets to 2S, then
1.
2NT=24+ bal
3C/3D=H's and m
3H/3S/3NT= ?
2.
2NT=24+bal
3C=H's & D's
3D=6+H's
3H=H's & 4S
3S=H's & C's
3NT=6H322 NF
(Ignoring that responder 'doesn't have to bid the forced 2S')

Hopefully you got some helpful replies.
I just play basic but it seems to work fine for me.
2c=2d(random ace or kings no great long suit/game force)=2h=standard...long hearts...4 loser hand ...good controls/ try and avoid bidding 2c with strong 2 suited hands if possible...
2c =2d is positive random ace or kings......no long great suit...game force.
2c=2h=deny ace or K but unlimited smallpoints...not game force but responder strains to rebid.
2c=2s=great spades ...standardish
2c=2nt=great hearts standardish
2c=3c or 3d=great minor...standardish...nothing fancy.
2c=2d=3h or 3s....=good 4 card major..maybe great 4 card major and longer D.
2c=2d=2nt=assume 22-24
2c=2h=2nt=22-24
2c=(2d or 2h)=3c=standard...long clubs 3 loser hand
