is a flop 3 bet better than that flat call?

I am glad you brought this up. I was afraid that the flop decision would get lost since I continued on to the turn, but I hate "street by street" posts. I hope that your mention of a possible three-bet will spark some more discussion. There are quite a few advantages to one, I think.

3-betting the flop is a viable option in my opinion. The fact that sb is leading this flop is no suprise as he was the preflop raiser and still has a very wide range of holdings that don't include a K. Lets say UTG1 knows this and thus his flop raising standards are now increased and he could very well be raising a Q, a straight draw, or even a worse K than you. This pot is large and worth fighting for so by 3-betting you might get SB to fold gutshots and single Aces incorrectly and increase your chances of winning unimproved.
While I just outlined an argument for it, I'm not too convinced a 3-bet is best, but I think it does have some merit and would be interested in other's opinions.
