In general, I'd lead the lowest. That clarifies that you have 4 (or very unlikely 6 or 2) in the suit. If you lead a higher card, it might be unclear if you started with only 3. Obviously it can change if certain cards are needed to be played (like high cards through dummy) or you want to try and trick declarer as to your length.

If that is the case, what's the problem in the following defense?
The bidding is natural, not sure about why N bid after p decline GT but anyway they are in game.
On trick 3 W led a spade, thought p has ♠32 and another trump

No problem, the contract was cold.

Also west shouldn't play north to hold 4 spades on this auction if the bids are natural.
