I wouldn't have doubled, as I wasn't particularly keen for partner to bid 3♠.
It seems to have worked out OK, however. I have a surprisingly strong trump holding, so there's probably no need to get active. I'd lead a spade.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

"The lower the level of the doubled partial, the faster the thrumph lead."
So a slow spade for me.

I would lead low spade, maybe spade 10 works better.

If this hand has 'willingness to compete' then what hands do you pass with? 
I'd lead the S5 at the table but i don't have a strong feeling about it.
On the auction dummy is marked with a few points and declarer probably has spade shortage. If dummy's spades are strong, the spade lead might set up a useful discard. On the flip side, leading any other suit could help declarer untangle it. My second choice would be a club.
