Default 5/5/10 - AA hand: Big multiway pot or small heads up pot?

5/5 blinds with a 10 straddle on the button

Before looking at my cards I notice that the Donkey in the SB (who was close to busted the last hand) has his last $25 in his hand, ready to chuck into the pot when the action gets to him.

UTG folds, UTG+1 limps for $10, I'm next to act with red AA

A standard raise here (for this game) would be to $60 or $70 and is likely to be called by at least 3 players, probably 4 since once one person calls everyone else wants to jump on the dog-pile.

Do you go ahead and make the normal raise and play the big ($350+ from PF calls) pot? Or, knowing that SB is 99% going to reopen betting for you, do you limp and reraise hoping to isolate and take down a smallish (~$150) against what is pretty much a random hand.

and the 1% of the time that the SB does not reopen the betting for you, the straddle will. I limp reraise here 100%
