My line is to get to showdown for 2.5bb, only 1sb more than your line, and protect against getting bluffed off the best hand by an aggressive player,

There are very few .5/1 players who are capable of pulling a bluff-checkraise. If villain were tricky enough to pull off a play like that, you would probably know it. In that case a passive line is fine, but against an unknown you can easily dump this to a c/r.

True, this probably isn't much of a concern. But what about if we are ahead, villian will almost always fold a worse hand on the turn when you raise the flop, limiting your win to 1bb after the flop? He will generally know he's ahead, or know he's behind. What do you think is better, protecting against AK sucking out on you on the river, or keeping a worse hand bluffing at you? I don't know myself.
