I like to lead because it tends to represent top pair more often than a set. The check raise immediately puts a player with an ace on the defensive or forces a fold from anything less, while leading usually lets them reraise you and try to force you out.

checkraise is nice here because of the ace and it being multiway. PFR will cbet any two usually but will fold non aces to a donkbet with third guy behind, and if you lead into PFR and he has something and raises the 3rd guy will fold most hands, some of which he might have put money in with otherwise. i like to lead sets on non ace boards headsup, but i lead with other random hands too - draws, air, bottom pair etc

relative position strengthens the case for c/r here, not that it needs any strengthening

does the fact that seat 6 is short stacked make any difference here?
