 HERO ??? 

I'm 99.99% sure I'm best in the hand and want to extract some value. BB had been involved in one earlier hand where he played it somewhat aggressively but wound up getting pushed off the pot by an all in and a call in front of him. I put him on a flush draw, solid T, or weak A.

Bet that river, and if so, how much? Or check and let him try to bluff at it? I was willing to commit my whole stack to this hand if he moved in, I was positive I was best.

Bet 180-220 and hope he calls/raises.

BB's stack is now t595. he's probably not calling half his stack with a weak hand just to catch you on an potential bluff. With the pot being t315 I would bet t95 again a hope he puts me on a busted flush draw thats trying to buy a pot and calls me.

I think if BB's willing to call 100 here, he's willing to call some more than that. I doubt you get a call here anyway. Might as well try to get a bit more.
