Default Peeling the flop with one pair (general)

I was thinking today about how I usually peel the flop with one pair when I get reraised by a hand I think is likely to be AA since there are a lot of situations where you can stack them when you hit and also a lot of situations where a scare card comes and you can steal.

But I was thinking about it, and wondering if maybe I shouldn't be peeling a little more in those situations even when I don't have reason to believe against AA. Usually, I'll only peel with top pair if I have a draw with it, or if all three of my sidecards would give me top two. Is this right though? Theoretically, it seems like all you should need is an average hand to peel as long as you have the positional advantage and villain's in an obvious C-betting spot.

Should I be peeling any top pair? Middle pair with good sidecards? Thought this might make a good general discussion topic.
