i think calling is better than not getting to showdown

why? what hands (if any) do you see him capping with that i beat? i mean against a laggy player or someone whose like a 60/15 he could cap worse two pairs, or god knows what else. so i should get to showdown. but against a 20/17, if he caps my 3bet, theres 0 chance that i'm ahead. but i think i'm ahead of enough of his possible holdings that i should 3bet.

My thinking is this, though I have yet to make it to 5-10, so I'm interested to hear what you and others have to say.
Above, Redd asked if you expected him to call with a big Q. If it's true that he he'll fold a Q, or another 1 pair hand, to your 3 bet, and cap with everything else that beats you, I don't see the point in 3 betting. We'll (almost)never collect the extra bet when we're ahead, and it will cost us another bb when we're behind, and we don't get a showdown.
I really want to show this hand down, so I don't see the need to risk another bb here, when I don't have to. Am I missing a lot of value by playing it this way?
