Yes the hand is boring, but I think that knowing exactly what to do in the most boring situations that come up all the time, is one of the most important qualities. I'm surprised by what I did here, and am quite sure it's incorrect.

I fold. You're in great shape chip wise. This is barely a push from SB per KS, so from button it has to be a fold. You don't need to risk your stack with this less than mediocre hand. If either blind doubles up from you you're in serous trouble, not worth the risk... be patient and fold, IMO.

BTW, I don't like a standard raise all that much b/c occassionally one of the blinds moves all-in, then you just donated a good chunk of your stack.
