Villain is swedish which implies a bit less donkishness than if he were say italian.

Well, in THAT case...
Anyhow, I think if you want to take the pot down quick, a check-raise on this flop is a better move than leading at it. Villain could minraise with any two, assuming that you wouldnt bet out with AK. Of course any two includes K's, AA, or 44. A check-raise shows more strength on your part and you can safely fold to a re-raise of your check-raise.
In any case, you're way ahead/way behind and out of position, so I would try to avoid throwing too much money in without a good read. Without a K himself, villain probably isn't going to keep betting at you on the turn and river if you call his flop bet (he'll fear you're slowplaying trips, especially after the preflop action).
As such, I think check-call is your best bet for this hand, with check-raise a 2nd best option. Leading out... probably not so good.
