I think it's a choice between a heart and a trump. I lean towards a small trump only because I think I still have time to find a red king in partners hand if that's our 4th trick, whereas if I lead a heart (assuming the ace) I may not have the ability to stop a ruff (or 2) from occurring.

Hmmm a low heart is cute, I might find that North has the K and either North or south has the J and make them guess at trick 1. However my luck always finds south with the King and partner the QJ (or QT9) and I just gave the contract away.

IMPs. Amber. South deals and declares 4♠.Your lead (as West)?
I led a ♦A which set up declarer's tenth trick.
I apologized to partner but cheered up a bit when 2 Scottish experts both chose a ♦ lead.
BBOers were more successful: A black suit lead enables defenders to end up on top -- but only if partner finds the heart switch.

Unless partner finds the ♥Q switch, declarer can impale you on Morton's fork.
He draws trumps and leads ♦2.
If you hop up ♦A, you again set up declarer's a 10th trick, immediately.
Ducking only postpones the pain. Declarer can cash dummy's clubs.and exit with another ♦, in this 4-card ending to end-play you in the red-suits.
