I get the feeling a spade is right

I'd go with a club, this heart suit is way too aggressive for a lead into a 2N opener at MP, but I do think some aggression is called for (ie, not a trump).

A club looks normal.
A heart could easily be better.
I am not leading a trump with ♦ Jx its too likely (but not certain) we need to take out side tricks before they can ditch them on some diamonds.

I know I would lead a club here for sure, but not sure if it is best.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

If opps are playing texas and i trust them to have a slam try for this sequence then I would lead a heart. Otherwise I'd lead a trump, I hate all my leads. If you had thrown in some decent club spots I'd lead that insteafd.

I lead a club.
Probably declarer will play ♣A, ♣K, ♣ruff in hand, draw trumps for 10 tricks, but I still can't bring myself to lead a trump. Don't like a heart lead at all.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I have K108x in hearts?
Oh, Boy! I love this kind of lead problem, because I have my favorite option available -- a surrounding play on opening lead!
I'll lead (because this is a "guess the lead" question) the heart 10. I'm catering to the following layout in hearts:
Partner can get in with his spade winner and lead a heart through declarer before declarer can use his diamonds to pitch his heart loser. If he tries to pitch the heart loser before pulling trumps, I can trump in.
