Protection bet or check

This is spot that comes up a lot.
Lets say HJ opens to 2.5bb and we flat button.
Flop (6.5bb)- Qh7h2c
HJ bets 4bb and we call.
Turn (14.5bb) 3c
HJ checks, hero??

We have a subset of our range that wants protection- namely, 88-TT, A7s, 87s (24 combos)
We have a subset of our range that wants to maximize FE and semibluff- KJhh KThh JThh J9hh T9hh 98hh AThh AJhh A9hh A5hh KJcc KTcc AJcc ATcc, AhJx (16 combos)
We have a subset of our range that wants to bet for value- AQ, KQ, QJs, QTs 77,22 (36 combos)

Do we bet smallish and include nearly our whole range or do we bet more polar and build check back range?

-if we bet our whole range small, he can check to us 100% and build c/r game with value hands instead of betting as he has the range advantage here.
