Slightly lean toward a heart, though spade looks comparable (a heart unlike a spade might just set up a tempo trick). Don't have any interest in leading from either of the other suits.

a heart. i'd guess dummy's modal hand type is a weak no trump. i don't want to carve up partner's spade holding so i'll lead a heart.

♥ for me, with ♠ a second choice.

Depending on the opponents' tendencies, dummy's likely hands are:

1) Balanced with ~12-14 or so
2) A weaker distributional hand that would have bid 4♠ in a standard system

trump

A 4s bid in precision is pretty similar to a direct 4s standard with significantly less risk of missing slam due to the power limitations of the 1s bid.
AKxx Qxxx xxxx x or some such. I would be pretty happy with almost any lead from dummy so it seems best to start with a trump and at least try to cut down on the inevitable ruffs. There is also little to no chance we are going to wreck partners trump holding. I do not have much faith we are going to set this so I rate a trump as maybe high 30's% to low 40's% and anything else essentially a crap shoot with odds under 20%

A trump. Opener's hand is limited, responder's hand could be anything. But if responder is preempting, the way they are going to make the most tricks is by ruffing. So it seems right to start cutting down on ruffs by starting with a trump lead.
