I'd lead ♠T
Lets face it, RHO has at least 2 diamonds, LHO did not stayman so he has at most 3 hearts and probably 2-3 spades, and he is rated to have minors, i expect him to hold at least 3 diamonds. which means ♦ lead will cost us tempo or trick or both. We need pd to hold Qx or Kx ♦ which we can recover later if thats the case. If both ♦ honors are held by declarer and pd holding 2 of them then diamond lead can work if declarer fails to duck...i dunno, i think i am not as optimistic as others would be about ♦ lead.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."
