I gave up after looking for a clear answer after a few minutes. They really buried the lead.

The history of the phrase bury the lede is fascinating. Especially the part where they started spelling it wrong on purpose.

According to the article linked by @JWBananas, lead is correct. Printers changed it to lede in order to avoid confusion with another tool called a lead in the printing context.
