Is it best to lead out with the straight here or go for a c/r? No specific reads from opponent. I assume if he has a five I will be reraised when I lead out as the straight is hidden fairly well. Please explain your answer.

I like betting out, because there is no guarantee that your opponent will bet. If he has a 5 then good. If he doesn't have anything you probably won't get much out of him anyway you do it. I like betting for building a pot. You can bet the river if he just calls.
