Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

You were correct to think stiff ♥A is way more likely than ♥AJxx playing human opponents. Playing the Ace in the second case might look a bit flash on the actual layout but will look rediculous when the KQ are in the dummy.
As for the play problem things have gone great - at other tables West has probably led his suit spades and booked declarer for a spade loser and 1 or 2 hearts. Meanwhile after we ruff a club we only have the 1 or 2 heart losers - looks a good score to me!
