Yeah, how often do you see 5-5 on this type of bidding, but missing the top two honours? But with those side suits and wanting to cut down on ruffs, I’d probably lead the AS fully expecting my luck would be on break and KS would make an untimely appearance along with a glower from the other side of the table.

A small spade, hoping partner had K might work (then a D back) but what if partner witheld his SK at T1 holding Kx? Oh Dear!
