Default LO8, Optimum way to get maximum value out of strong made hands.

I'm looking for ways to get more value out of my strong made hands. In the example below, I flop top set and get raised. Against an unknown opponent, would I get more value by just calling here and then ramming/jamming on the turn in hopes of pulling my opponent along until we get to the big bet rounds? Or should I start ramming and jamming immediately?

I know that in general giving free cards and/or pulling opponents along in Omaha8 is an ill-advised idea. However, if there is only one low card on a dry flop, and I have a strong made hand, could stringing the opponent along be an acceptable approach?
