Forget the sucked out on part. It is 100% leaving money on the table, especially if he's not folding. You raise this flop and hope he gives you the opportunity to cap.

If you don't get to cap the flop, then you've left money on the table too. I think a flop cap is less likely than a turn bet, so I'd prefer to wait. I also think if he'd be willing to cap the flop here, he might be willing to cap the turn (maybe if he had 98, or a smaller set) which is way more profitable. We're also ignoring the possibility that he's just bluffing (or betting something like 44 which he's going to fold to a raise) where we'd much rather he kept putting bets in.
It seems to me that if you're not slow-playing here you're basically saying that one should never slow-play. You're in a smallish pot, heads up with an aggressive player who's likely to bet the next street for you if you just check. Seems like a pretty good spot for it, if there are any.
