Default QQ on unpleasant board

I feel like I often misplay situations like this and take the wrong river action. The board is pretty scary, but villain often holds a lower pocket pair. Is it often enough that I should bet for value?

Villain in this hand was slightly loose and passive (32/8/0.8 over 40 hands at the time), but not out of hand. I hadn't seen any wild play from him, and wasn't sure what his call down standards were.

How should my betting standards here change against different archetypes of villains, particularly TAGs?

I think it's close, and for the sole reason that a raise may make me fold, I'd like to check and show it down. But betting isn't wrong imo.

If you can fold to a checkraise, go ahead and bet.

If you can't, then well, check it through
