IMO S3=10 HJ=9 ST=8 DJ=4 C7=2
Arguably, opponents are stretching, so you should play as safely as 
possible -- with a diamond lead, say. I feel,  however, that you should 
prefer a major because opponents may have an eight card or better fit in 
a minor but their auction reveals that they don't have such a fit in a 
major.
