NL25 Zoom: turned mid pair + FDGS, barrel or check?

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) BN: $25.87
SB: $55.46
BB: $25.60
UTG: $26.58 (Hero)
MP: $18.53
CO: $54.67
villain 25/13 over 9 hands
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is UTG with 8 9
Hero raises to $0.75, 3 folds, SB calls $0.65, BB folds
Flop ($1.75) A 5 7
SB checks, Hero bets $1.20, SB calls $1.20
Turn ($4.15) A 5 7 9
SB checks

I have very little info on villain but I'd guess he's not a complete fish and has a somewhat decent SB calling range, probably including a lot of pairs, broadways, big suited connectors and stuff like this. Given that, I don't think a pair of 8s has much SDvalue if it goes check, check on the river. Is it therefore advisable to keep betting here? I don't think I'll get c/r'd very much and I can likely fold out some better hands like JJ or QJhh.
How good does this 2nd pair have to be so that you'd prefer checking?
