Marginal hand on a SBvsBU 3bet flop.

Blinds: $1.00/$2.00 (6 Players) BN: $200.00
SB: $316.16 (Hero)
BB: $543.39
UTG: $682.62
MP: $1137.23
CO: $215.10
BU is reggy, 32/21/6 with a BU steal of ~70. Not too crazy postflop.
Preflop ($3.00) Hero is SB with T K A 7
3 folds, BN raises to $5.00, Hero raises to $17.00, BB folds, BN calls $12.00
3bet isn't too obvious, but with BU folding 30% vs Resteal, in my opinion, is a must
Flop ($36.00) 9 4 T
Hero
Flop is... that. I ended up checking and x/folding to a 2/3 bet, however both decisions - whether to cbet or not, and whether to x/call or not - in my mind were considerable. On a flop like that I feel like the good wraps (KQJThh, QJT7hh), sets and, even more so, 2P, have almost no incentive to raise, and almost always would just call a cbet IP (we are not getting raised). If this assumption is true (which I strongly believe should be the case), I would only have weak'ish T9, J87, QQ66hh in my x/calling range, and basically never marginal made hands with no redraws like this. So having checked and facing a bet my instinct was to just fold what seemed like a good equity hand, and now i'm back to my flop decision: do we cbet? Playability on 80% of turns seems so poor, that I FEEL that this was played perfectly, however some other opinions would help.
