If villain can be tricky, and hangs around for any gutshot, then I would have checked the river

This is all the more reason to bet/call the river. Players who will call w/anything need to be value bet against relentlessly. If he's loose enough to hang around w/a gutter ball or bd strait he's loose enough to call w/middle pair or worse. Even though he's tricky the majority of hands that he checks are those that you are ahead of and we dont know the real strenth of his hand untill he check raises. Since he will check/call quite a good amount of time checking behind just isn't a good option, even if he's a tricky player

If he were the type of player that wouldn't call that often w/a worse made hand but WOULD check raise w/good hands that you beat as well as hands you don't, checking behind becomes the superior option. I don't think villain fits that description however.
