a few guys I think play good are advocating a flop lead in this hand and I disagree - please show me the error of my ways.

I would check this flop because if you are drawing, you want to draw cheaply, if you are ahead, you want to cutdown the field. Leading does neither I think. you also INCREASE your implied odds by checking the flop. If this seems cryptic, I can elaborate, but i hope some of you will elaborate on your leading the flop position.
