Default 1 – 2 NL at Turning Stone, stacking problem.

I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, but the stacks are deep enough that I figured it would fit in here.

1-2 NL / 200 max buy-in game at Turning Stone.

Hero is on the button with ~ $ 900.
Villain 1 is UTG with ~ $1300.
Villain 2 is UTG + 1 with ~ $1000.
BB has ~ $200

Preflop: Villain 1 raises to $15 (standard raise at this table), Villain 2 calls, folds around to Hero, who calls on the button with 5c 5d. SB folds, BB calls.

Flop ($61 in the pot): 5s 9s 10c

BB checks, Villain 1 bets $30, Villain 2 hesitates, then calls $30. Hero??

Reads:

Villain 1 has never had this much money before at the table, and has been playing reasonably tight preflop so as not to lose it. That being said, his betting is transparent and he is prone to make costly mistakes - he overbets strong hands (i.e., sets, straights, etc.) and will go to the felt with overpairs and TPTK.

Villain 2 will play any two preflop, doesn't get too out of line postflop, but is willing to pay more than he should for his draws.

Hero's table image is solid. Doesn't play many hands, hasn't shown down any bluffs.

If Hero wants to stack villain(s) here, how should he proceed?
