Default getting donk bet on the flop

Instead of just posting a hand here I thought I would try to get a more general discussion going.

Consider the following situation which is very common (I'm taking a shot at 5/10 and it's very common at 5/10 relative to 3/6 it seems):
You open raise with some two big cards hand and it's folded to the BB. Flop comes three small unpaired cards and BB bets out.

This situation has for me become the new "getting raised on the turn," I get really uncomfortable when it happens and often have little clue what to do (I think my turn play is much improved now thanks to you guys). Question is, what are you thinking about here?
Obviously I would look at how tight BB is versus a raise. Most people in these games seem to almost always, if not always, call from the bb here. Also, you would hopefully have some sort of read on whether the bb has done this before. Again a lot of players seem to always donk bet here. Finally, how do they play when raised? Some three bet and will bet out again after you cap. Many call your raise and donk it again on the turn. The guys I like will call and check the turn almost no matter what they have.

So other than that and factors surrounding your hand (do you have backdoor or gutshot straight draws for example) am I missing anything?

What have you found to be the best line against guys that will pretty much call any two preflop, donk bet most flops, and continue donk betting if they have any piece as long as no ace comes (in which case they'll check/call)?

How do you deal with the guys that go into all out attack mode assuming you've missed your overs?

A slight change in the scenario is both blinds calling, sb donking, bb calling and the action being to you. How does your thought process differ here?
