I would raise this preflop.

Instead of raising the turn because you want a free showdown, howbout raising because you have the best hand?

I would bet the river.

Its not a good idea to assume that you'll see a free showdown against someone who just pulled a stop-n-go. The turn bet likely means BB "improved" to 2-pair.. most likely with a weak King. A 3 would likely check-raise you. I'd say you likely split this pot.

You can bet this river.

Raise PF, drive out blinds.

raise the turn because you're most likely best.

Bet the river. Why do you want a free showdown? you have top pair and the flush draw missed. You would have heard from stronger K's and 3's by then.
