Default 10-20 Taj Hand: Stop and Go or Check and Raise?

I'm playing in a lively 10-20 game at The Taj Mahal. On this hand, one loose EP player limps, all fold to me in the SB and I raise with KQo. The BB, a decent player who plays well postflop but a twinge loose preflop calling raises cold, calls as does the limper. 3 players, $60 pot. The flop comes 10-5-3r. I bet out. The BB raises, and the limper folds. I call. I figure I likely have two clean outs unless he is playing something like K10 or Q10. The turn is a an offsuit queen. I check, he bets, I call. River is a 2. I bet out. He pauses, a little taken aback, and calls. I show my hand and he mucks. My question is, how many would play this way, and how often. If I checkraise the turn, I get pounded if he really has a monster (unlikely) or he folds (which can't be that horrible) and I miss a bet. Usually I would go the turn checkraise route here, but I find lately that I am gaining an extra bet on the end in these spots using the stop and go on occassion. What do you think of how I played this hand, and how often do you employ this technique instead of the standard checkraise? What criteria do you consider? Thanks in advance.

Jeff
