I'm playing and if I'm playing, I'd rather raise and get the BB out potentially.

What are you hoping the big blind is going to fold? KQ, AK, AJ and all pocket pairs are all surely coming along.

EP may have limped with a small pair or something that could allow you to steal if flop comes ace high, etc.

This is true, but it's not clear to me that you need to make this extra investment preflop to make stealing on such a board possible. Can't you just bet the flop? Clearly the preflop raise gives you a bit more credibility, but it also is more expensive when you lose.

Good luck.
