How does spontaneous casting interact with the magus' spell strike and spell combat class abilities, particularly in regards to increased casting times?
If I had the Greater Spell Specialization feat, would I be able to use a spontaneously cast intensified shocking grasp with my spell strike and spell combat class abilities? If not, why?
See no reason why not.

As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty).
Standard Action spells only

Correct. Spellstrike is fine, Spell Combat is not.
So if I intend to use metamagic, Preferred Spell is the way to go?
Magi do not have spontaneous casting abilities. Spell Combat is exclusive to Magi. If you are multi-classed, you can not use spell combat with spells from your non-Magus class.
I already know that LazarX. Naturally, the assumption is that my magus (A) is multi-classed and has the broad study class ability, (B) possesses the Greater Spell Specialization feat, or (C) possesses the Preferred Spell feat.
