♣T.

what scoring? it is quite important in lead decisions.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

No strong feelings between CT and Dx. But it's the wrongest time to lead a major against 3NT that there is.

I'd lead a diamond.

It's not illegal for opps to 3325 versus 4423.

Here both minor leads could help declarer, but Diamonds may also easily be needed to score the 5th trick in defense. So I'll lead my 4th♦.
BTW, imo, leading any Major is terrible with Axx.

A low diamond and I feel pretty strongly about it. Going passive with a club doesn't rate to be right and it might blow a trick with no upside.

Low diamond also.

The auction does suggest a passive lead so you could maybe make a case for a club if they were 1098 so it was completely safe. But it doesn't seem right to lead my worst suit instead of my best suit when either could blow a trick but probably won't.

I did lead a small ♦. My partner said that a Major lead was obvious after this bidding, but I thought leading my longest suit was better with 2 entries.

The good thing about this is you can inquire as to why he didn't overcall 3♠ or double 3NT and he can hardly accuse you of resulting.

You are wrong, he did not vote if other one is you for ♣ lead :)
