Having Clark trust him, not being lied to constantly by his best friend, there's no way Lex would be as close to darkness as he is now.
Also, I think Lex would've protected Clark and the secret. We've seen how far Lex is willing to go to protect others. (In "Memoria", "Zero", countless other episodes.) And I think that same need to protect would've applied to Clark. Heck, Lex has gone out of his way to protect Clark even without knowing the secret. If anything, knowing the secret (and having a better relationship with Clark) would've just made him more protective.
And, considering how Lex is, I think he would've becoming downright obsessive about proving himself worthy of the secret Clark entrusted him with, which would mean not exploiting it.
