I'd lead ♥A, since you didn't give me any trumps. Even if that gets ruffed, forcing dummy might be a good thing to do.
... 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

spade A for me to set this we need (3s) or (2s1h) or (1s1h1d/c) or (2s1d/c)

Half of these combinations do not include a heart while all of them include a
spade. It is far too dangerous to possibly lose tempo with a heart lead since
we might all too easily be losing our only chance to set the contract.

I would lead ace of spades since I don't want my lead to get ruffed. If the ace of hearts lead is ruffed then he can throw a spade on the king of hearts that I probably set up in the process.

Spade ace.

West will often be 2065 or similar - he might double with a max with less shape to give an option.

I'm cashing. Hopefully partner has the ♠K and a diamond trick, and there's still time for a heart, and if it sets up four discards for dummy's club losers, it's an outlier.
