I still like the 3-bet.
totally disguises my hand if I hit, might get me a free card if I don't, helps to define BB's hand, 2 additional callers coming along for the ride, I've got position....

You're listing a bunch of pros but ignoring the cons.
Re. hand disguise, the danger of you making your hand and not getting paid off is very small. The danger of you making your hand and losing is much larger. Also 2-card straights are already hard to see, the extra camouflage isn't worth the price.
The possibility of a free card is real, but so is the possibility of a cap behind you, meaning that a lot of times instead of saving half a big bet, you are paying an extra big bet.
Also, these two ideas are somewhat contradictory. If you do hit a 7 you don't want it checked to you, you'd rather have a bet in front of you to raise.
