NL 100 AK - Best line for scary board?
 

Both villains are unknown. I have been playing pretty tight so far with no real hands yet. Only main hand I played, I raised AKo out of the blinds multiway and took it down on a c-bet on the flop HU.

~$15ish? And how big of a raise are we folding to vs. unknowns?

i'd bet 15 and fold to anything more than a minraise against an unknown.

I would also bet the flop here. I don't like the idea of giving possible hands like QJ, QJ, KT a free shot at hitting their gutshots.

Not to piggyback on everyone who has already responded, but, yeah, I think this flop is must-bet. It's a good flop for you but also one that very likely hit your opponents. Betting out here allows you to define where you stand in the hand and to begin to make real judgments about what cards your opponents are holding. If you check and the CO bets the pot into you on the flop, what do you here?

Then you definitely should not bet.
