Default Preflop Question: Axs

I am in doubt about the best way to play A2s - A6s in general.
I usually play at 5handed 200NL tables, pretty loose not really agressive. And I know that poker is a situational game so that's it hard to give general guidelines. I also know pretty much everyone has some general guidelines since most of the time most players are unknown and you have to assume a certain standard villain (pretty loose/ passive/agr, depends on the site and stakes). So I would like to know your reasoning behind your general guidelines with the lower suited aces.

I always raise the suited aces first in from any position. But I'm not sure if this is a winning play. I don't think I make the nutflush often enough to make up for the kicker and missed flop problems.

When I'm UTG I usually have to play the rest of the hand oop with a crappy hand and most of the time a crappy flop since I don't pick up a lot of draws with these hands.

CO is a little bit better, more chance of stealing the blinds, better position rest of the hand, less people to act etc.

Btn is a clear steal with any Axs imo, so this is not part of my question. Also A7s or higher is a standard raise in a 5handed game imo. Anyone thinks differently about this?

What do you guys think of the lower suited aces? I would love to hear some theory behind these hands.
