SB checks. What is your action?

You have a non-nut made hand with, except for the inside straight flush draw, non-nut redraws. This seems like a real toss-up to me. Unless someone has QT or something massive like trips and the nut flush draw, it's probably going to be checked around if you check. So is it more valuable to you to get a free card or to not give a free card? It is hi-lo, so you'd rather not give a freebie to low draws. This probably tips the scales toward betting your almost powerful hand. It'd be tempting to go for a check raise, to try to get it heads up and hope your oppoenent just has QT and no redraws.
