straight out of SSH, I'd just call the flop bet and raise UTG's turn bet on a non-spade, non-ace to press a bigger edge.

I have been thinking about the same play here and I think KK is too strong to wait for the turn. Your equity on the flop is pretty big. People with A have 3 outs against you and are not getting proper odds to call if your raise.

Plus, what do you do if you just call the flop, turn is a spade and somebody else bets? Fold? Call down? I just don't like it

yeah sometimes waiting for the turn is good but in this instance i like raising the flop for the above reasons. I think SSH also goes over this in the hand quizzes with AA vs TT. they say to wait for the turn with TT because your equity could change drastically but the change iis not that significant with AA so just raise the flop. I think we can apply the same principle.
