I'd probably check behind here. You're both very, very deep so this is a great spot for him to get extra tricky and try to induce a bet on the river with a better hand in order to check-raise and get the rest of your stack, or even check a better hand so as not to get bluff-raised all-in and have to face a really tough decision with a flush on a paired board. Or to check-raise all-in figuring it's very unlikely for you to have boat based on the pf action (you'd prolly bet QQ on flop?..), and knowing that you shouldn't call without one... so between all the times he's check-calling with a better hand, check-raising with a better hand, not calling with a worse one, and check-raising bluffing with a worse one that'll make you want to puke, a check is best.

PS. [censored] metagame, pf is pretty atrocious. Given that he's a very aggressive player, you'll get plenty of chances to resteal with at least marginally playable hands.
