Bvb close to the bubble spot

Had this spot come up yesterday in a $215. It worked out well for me, but I'm not sure I took the best line and I'm looking for opinions on options here.

We are about 20 from the money and I am in the sb with a8 diamonds. It folds around to me. I have 22 bb. The bb has 24bb. He has a 10% overall 3 bet, but is very aggressive in pressure spots and I expect he will be pushing a wide range when I open.

The options here as I see them are:

1) raise and fold to a shove.
2) raise and call a shove
3) limp and fold to a shove
4) limp and call a raise
5) limp and shove over a raise
6) open shove

I think 1 is the worst option and I don't like 2 much better. If I limp and he shoves, I would just fold bc it doesn't seem worth calling when I've only put in an extra half blind.

I think the better options are 4-6. On 4 call a raise, see 3 cards and realize more than half my equity. The biggest problem there is I can end up getting it in on the flop with a draw a lot and it seems like a shitty time to draw.

Option 5 I really liked and that is what I did. I expected him to raise my limp a lot and felt that I could fold out most hands.

I think 6 has some merit too, but it seems like too much to open shove.

I limped, he 3x, I shoved, he snap called with qq and I got lucky to hit an ace and make a decent run.

At the time I told myself I made a good play, ran into a cooler with qq and got lucky. But now I'm thinking that might be getting too high variance when I am certain to make the money if I don't get it in there.

What would you all do there?
