I can see some people who would cap preflop. As for me, against most I would call, but would definitely raise that flop.

Raising the flop is definetely a solid option.
How does a flop raise compare to a turn raise as far as the way the hand is likely to play out when considering the BB's range of hands? (You know what I mean?)

I'd rather raise the flop here because there are a lot of cards I don't want to see, and putting in one BB on the flop, and one BB on the turn to check behind the river is cheaper than putting in 1 SB on the flop, and 2 BB on the turn to do the same.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping for when I posted this hand.
My concern though, (and maybe it's unfounded), is being forced to lay down the best hand.
If I raise the flop it's possible, (though maybe not common), for this guy to 3-bet and lead at me on the turn w/ AK. (Especially considering that he likely thinks I'm stealing with a pretty wide range.)
If I just call the flop and then raise the turn, it makes raising w/ AK a lot more difficult for him, and it makes it easier for me to lay down my 8's if he takes this line.
There's a lot more to this situation that I know I'm not covering. Just kinda thinking out loud.
Thanks for the replies so far.
