I see no reason to attack here.

 

A club is too likely to hit split honors, although we'd survive if we hit the T or K with partner.

 

A heart is probably very wrong, and can swallow up partner's K-empty.

 

Spade for me.

I would like to make a safe neutral lead but I have no idea what it is except for a non heart.

 

I pick the Q just because pard must have something and I'll not blow a trick if it's only the ten. Not a hand to swing on and I think I'm with the field more often this way, take an average (I hope) and move on.
