Re: 20/40 turn decision with top pair
I would raise this just about every time preflop. The only exception I can think of would be if one of the limpers is prone to limp/raising.
Flop: Considering that you checked preflop, I prefer checking here. Even though you have top pair your hand isn't all that hot. There are a ton of draws out there and the pot is big enough that a bet won't protect your hand. If you check and the bet comes from your right, then you can raise and make life hard for hands like gutshots, bottom pair, etc.. If the bet comes from your left & everyone calls you can just call, with the intention of leading out on the turn if a blank falls.
Just my opinion...
