Call after the first draw. You're not significantly ahead, and if you 3 bet and draw one, your hand is turned over. Against a smart player, he wouldn't get in a raising war with you with #3 on later streets if you catch a monster, whereas if you call after the first draw your hand looks a little weaker and are much more likely to get your opponnents to overplay their hands if you catch gin.

QFT (post above me). IMO if you raise with a 1 card draw its very obv you are drawing to a 7 or smooth 8, and will likely lose an extra BB if you make your hand, i.e. you will make more if they think you have a worse hand.

bet river here sometimes, with them checking you can rule out enough hands that beat you to make this a reasonable but thin bet against their range.
