Personally I dont like to slow play very often unless i flop the absolute nuts or i flop a strong hand heads up especially against a LAG.

I don't think check raising is slowplaying. I think a distinction is made between them in TOP. Regardless, I definitely favor the check raise here.

but think you could have bet even more agressivly maybe raising to 80 to get him to fold either the K or A of hearts

I think raising to 80 would allow the A and K of hearts to fold without making a mistake. In my opinion, a raise to 80 has -EV. It would allow all the drawing hands to safely fold without making a mistake and only get you called by higher flopped flushes.
You want the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to call with improper pot odds. I think his bet did this. Higher flush draws only have 5 outs because of straight flush redraws.
