Default Flopping Broadway out of the Small Blind

I rarely slowplay but I wanted to maximize value and since it was an unraised pot, I didn't anticipate anyone having a monster so I thought that playing it fast would lead to folds.

A third spade dropping would have sucked but I was willing to risk it since I hadn't invested much into the pot. In this case, I was risking losing a small(ish) pot in the hopes of winning a big(gish) pot.

Is this a good way to play this or should I always take an aggressive line? In this case, it was a $5.50 (when I'm at work I play smaller limits than when I'm at home) but I wonder about playing it this way even at higher buy-ins (I usually play $11-33).
