The opposition bid one of four things.
1. RHO 1NT (weak 12-14), all pass.
2. RHO 1NT (15-17), all pass.
3. RHO 1NT (weak 12-14), LHO 3NT, all pass.
4. RHO 1NT (15-17), LHO 3NT, all pass.
You hold ♠ T92 ♥ AQ82 ♦ A53 ♣ 864
Playing matchpoints in a fairly average field, there is a good reason to base your lead on matchpoint considerations - go with the flow or try something different. The ♥2 will be the most common lead.
But independently of that, I was just wondering if folk think the 2♥ is a good lead in any or all of the above situations.

IMHO ♠T stands out in matchpoints, while the ♥2 is the IMP lead...

The ♠10 is the clear choice in all four auctions at IMPs, total points, rubber, BAM, as well as MPs.

It is a nice hand for Journalist leads, where the 9 shows the ten and nothing higher. That might make it easier for partner to find the heart switch when it is right than a lead of the ten that might also hold a top honour. The obvious downside is that it makes it easier for declarer to work out the suit but I think that is of less weight here than aiding partner's early decision.
