Default NLCASH 100 - Hero faces reraise but flops quads

Alright, I'm pretty sure I [censored] this one up. It is early in the match well before I had a read. I'm not going to bother to omit the results here because the way I played it is going to make it obvious regardless.

Full Tilt Poker Game #3725749140: Table Jade (heads up) - $0.50/$1 - No Limit Hold'em - 14:18:59 ET - 2007/10/01
Seat 1: kasper771 ($125.40)
Seat 2: xSCWx ($101.50)

xSCWx posts the small blind of $0.50
kasper771 posts the big blind of $1
The button is in seat #2

I know the standard thought with flopped quads is "OMG U GOT QUADS SLOW PLAY TO RIVER" but I find that in at least half of my games this is a poor way to extract because the line reeks of monster. If I had been checked into or was OOP I believe my best line would be to bet here, but as played I think this is one of those times where I believe slow playing is best.

Given stack sizes and that this villain seems pretty generic thus far, I believe my best play would have been to call to river then shove regardless of whether it is checked or bet into me.

Thoughts?
