Re: 50NL suitable spot for set-mining?

call if less than 5% of effective stacks, fold if over 10%, and make a judgement call between 5% and 10%)

that's a very good rule to determine to call or not. But isn't call justified when effective stack is only 8 times bigger cause you flop set in 13% of the time? [maybe my knowing of odds is oldschool or wrong, though, hah].
Sure, in that case we are left with no buffer to further reraises.

This would only be true if we stack him every time we hit our set, which is nowhere close to true.
"I don't like the fact it's an EP raise, plus the prospect of a re-raise behind"
The fact that we could get reraised is the only deterrent to it being an EP raise. Other than that, it is better that it is EP, since his hand is more likely to be strong, ie more likely to give away a lot of chips if we hit our set.
This, of course, is assuming we are just playing for set value, which I think is pretty fair unless he seems really weak post flop.
If it was later I agree with others it would be a 3bet situation, as then we would be ahead instead of behind his range
