Default Top Straight - with Straight Flush Draw

Should I be pushing here to maximize the pot and draw and push out other draws here?

I don't have the hand history, but I will try and re-create best as possible.

I have 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and I'm in the CO.

Flop comes 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I now have the top straight , and OESFD.

This was a .5/1 game, and about 6 of us limped to the flop.

MP opens after the flop for half pot $1.5 (he was loose and liked to bet many flops when checked to him.

1 Fold, LP raised to i think $3 or $4.

What's my move here - call? or pot it?

I have the best hand, a weak flush draw, and a strong straight flush draw. I also have backdoor full house posiblities. Do I want to keep others in the hand? or isolate and maximize?

The 2 players who checked the flop (BB and UTG) are still to act.
