♠
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Nope - keep the A♣ as a cover on declarer's cards.
I'm not good enough to guess which red suit is right.

Diamond or heart. Perhaps a diamond (pard prolly streches more with hearts than diams).

How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

right or wrong, i would lead a trump: make declarer develop his tricks. if I pick up P's Qxx, oh, well. I wouldn't be surprised if declarer had 6 trumps, anyway. At MP, blindly leading an ace seems to run to much of a risk of giving away a trick.

on that bidding i think i'd lead the ♣A also, followed by another club probably... opener doesn't appear too worried, maybe we can get all our tricks

Trump is the most passive imo, they only need 1 or 2 rounds and still have trumps enough left in dummy to ruff anything. Since it's MP's, I don't want to give opps extra tricks by leading agressive on this hand. Small ♠.

Led a low spade thru pard's AQx! They made easily. Any red suit was okay but a H lead has a chance to set them.

Why wouldn't declarer pick up the AQx anyway? Its not that much of a guess with KJTxx opposite xxxx - unless Dummy has only one entry.
A more typical layout is that they have a 10 card spade fit and the trump lead gives away nothing. Objectively, any non-trump lead rates to be less passive than a trump.
Bad luck I'd say.

hi
just a thought .. if y want an attacking red-suit lead .. try leading one of your Q's.
It may work and may not cost a trick if p has Jxxx or such.
I really dont know in isolation what I'd lead, except that it wouldnt be AC

Small spade, if I catch partner with a stiff club and 3 spades to the A♠, he wins it, fires me the club and a ruff, we may have this one set. If I just lead the ace of clubs off the hop, I may be setting up an entire suit for declarer to pitch away loses in the red suits.
Alternatively, if I lead one of the red suits, I am asking myself to be finessed.
