It's close, but I'm worried about blowing a trick with the DA lead if partner has Qx or Jxx so I'd just go with a spade.

Your RHO bid diamonds, voluntarily, FOUR times up to 5D at equal vul. And you think the ace may blow a trick in that suit ???

Do you really think RHO's bids are reliable?

We all know RHO's bids can't be reliable. But there can be no doubt he loves his diamonds.

Maybe, but it could be length rather than strength (who knows ) . More importantly, likely reason for RHO's bids is that he is short in our suit, so I see no need to cut down spade ruffs. Who knows, LHO's void suit might be trumps...

In case, any lead seems like a blind shot, as the bidding is totally unreliable.

The argument of Axxx opp void is valid, but not enough to sway the decision towards a diamond lead (for me).
