Default common turn situation: A9o w/gutshot + overcard

This is a turn situation that is pretty common but I usually get confused on what to do. Villain is somewhat loose and relatively aggro, he will raise the turn somewhat frequently here w/a Q or 8, and always wait for the turn w/his monsters. If i bet here and get raised, I'm getting 6.7-1 which is usually good enough for my gutshot + A overcard outs + very marginal pair of 9s outs. However, that will cost me 2 bets instead of 1 by check/calling, but by check/calling I lose fold equity if he was making a loose flop peel, and am getting 4.7-1 which is barely good enough for my 7ish outs.
