Default To bet the turn or not w/ set

Villain is a complete unknown to me. Should we bet turn for value/protection or check behind to induce bluffs and bets from weaker hands plus avoid going broke if villain has the flush?

By the way, I decided to bet $125 into $154 pot on turn. Bonus question, if villain were a regular TAG, which alternative would you prefer as standard?

Against an unknown I think i probably check behind the turn. Against a tag, I still think I check because I don't think most tags will crai will AoTc here and I don't see a tag ever having AK or AQ here.

But... if you think he'll call down with an Ace - then I probably bet bet because he'd probably be checkraising most combo flush draws on the flop. QT KQ etc.

It's hard to say what a tag would do because with a lot of the hands I'm listing, you'd be getting 3 bet with.

Probably a check, but it's close.
