Both of my opponents were aggressive, but non-crazy. Was I correct to play it this way?

i think i would of bet more - i find it more tempting to slowplay with multiple opponents so maybe not

i like betting out on the flop as it makes your subsequent betting look less suspicious - as it was maybe 3 betting the flop - Q's and flush draws will pay anything on the flop and turn

i think slowplaying here may be over emphasising the strength of your hand - ie because you have a monster you feel the need to slowplay - its best to have an image of super aggro when dealt this hand because then you can bet freely - given your a rock now perhaps this was a decent line

I agree with that...maybe bet the flop and check-raise the turn against aggro opponents? Still looks like you got a lot of mileage out of this hand.
