Setting up a club to pitch a heart is probably the safest line to make 4. Attacking diamonds has potential to produce an overtrick. Which do you prefer (or something else), playing in an A/X game against a solid-but-uninspired local pair?

SA then SK. If spades are breaking, I'll draw trump ending in dummy and then attack diamonds, trying to make 4 spades, 2 hearts, 2 diamonds, 2 clubs and a club or heart ruff.
