Check is good, pot is big enough for TPTK. Not only does checking give you pot control, it also under represents your hand which might get villain to bluff the river (unlikely with that tiny aggression but as a general principle) or might get your river bet paid off.

Also keep in mind the old adage that an ace on the turn often is not good news for you because A3/AT/A4 all just made two pair.

I check all day...as I would hate to get c/r...+ it might induce a bluff on river. Pot size control is what you want in position here.

I bet some of the time, just because its a good 2nd barrel card and I don't want to only be bluffing when I bet the turn

Checking is good as well

Against this opponent I bet. He is behind most of the time and he looks like the type of player you can value bet all day long. Against a better player, I check the majority of the time.

roll your eyes and call. I'm thinking you see AT or a set here almost always, but folding is too nitty.
