If you're going to lead you need to 3bet. If the mouse still calls then you know you're beat and can checkfold unimproved.

Once the mouse calls on the flop, it's fairly like that he has me beat. It's unlikely that he's limping UTG+1 with 78s so my concerns are 66/99 and Ax hands. I don't want to put 3-bets in on the flop when I'm likely behind. The question is how likely is it that he just has a weak one-pair hand that I can fold with a turn check/raise?

3betting is more consistent with the hand you are representing. A turn checkraise looks exactly like what you are trying to do (shut out a better hand). I think if you 3bet there is a very good chance he folds an ace. A turn checkraise is also more expensive.
