Please tell me/us your reasoning

By double barrelling we fold out a lot of hands we beat and if he raises, we now go to the river with only a draw as the top pair value of our hand is lost.
By check/calling we let him bet with worse hands/draws, we still have decent top pair value going to the river and if he is ahead we still have outs.
If the turn checks through and we don't hit we can still get value from lesser one pair hands on the river.
If he's a real calling station and you never expect him to stab with worse, then bet/calling is better than c/calling. (But against that opponent you probably should fold river, here.)
