IMO ♠ = 10, ♦ = 9, ♥ = 8, ♣ = 5. With few high cards, declarer may need ruffs. What would double by partner mean? With no other inferences or agreements, when we have both bid a suit, I would take it as "Please lead your own suit" (i.e. ♥).

It looks like the 6s bidder has one red suit first
round controlled and another second round controlled
at a minimum. Since we have the dia K it is highly
likely the 6s bidder has the dia A. P did not raise
1h bid (after the x) so the increases the likelihood
the 6s bidder has 2+ hearts. I would not be surprised
to see a dummy like AKxxx Kx A AKQxx where they make 6
if we fail to lead a heart.
IMO heart = 10 dia = 6 spade = 3 club = 0
