I like to lead the unbid suit in these auctions. Since spades is the unbid suit i lead a spade. But they bid spades you say. nope. 2s was 4th suit forcing and not natural. The real question is which spade do i lead. That would depend on what i know about opponents. If they are novices i lead the K asking partner about his attitude. If they are experts i lead my 4th best spade. Why the difference? Because im sure that experts know that the original 2s bid was artificial and will have a stopper in the suit. novices/intermediates may think the suit is promising a stopper and bid nt thinking their partner has a stopper in the suit when in fact neither has a stopper in the suit.
This game never ceases to intrigue me!!

Why a diamond, Luis? Really, that was the only lead that I excluded immediately.
Opener very probably has 5D and 4C...
Or maybe you try to guess opener's [Qxx x Jxxx AKQJx]?

I choose a passive lead, hard to give up a trick leading a diammond in my opinion. Maybe there's time to switch later. And sometimes opener has more clubs than diamonds if not enough to reverse.
