Raise pre-flop. I hate limp re-raising at this levels because with such passive play, it's all too common to be playing KK, out of position, against 3 or 4 limpers who, at this level, can have absolutely any 2 cards. Second, I think that you were absolutely right to fold KK in this spot. With the raise and the reraise behind you, you know you have to be up against AA. Also, against PS players, I don't like getting all-in pre-flop with anything less than AA. PS tends to be tighter and smarter, so it'll be rare to see someone getting all-in with QQ or AK, even at these levels.
