overpair + NFD with high SPR OOP

SB: $29.43
BB: $25 (Hero)
UTG: $17.78
HJ: $90.76
CO: $10.56
BN: $63.37
Preflop ($0.35) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt Q Q 4 A
UTG folds, HJ calls $0.25, CO folds, BN calls $0.25, SB calls $0.10, Hero raises to $1.25, HJ calls $1, BN calls $1, SB folds
Flop ($4.20) 9 6 2 (3 Players)

This is not only about this particular hand but generally about figuring out how to play vs non-folding players OOP.

Pre: This hand is on the low end of my raising range here. I'd check AQQ4 with non-nut-FD.

MP is 72/12. I have a read that favors my play in this particular hand but like I said I'm interested if this play is cool even without the read. This villain has a tendency to just pot out fd (not only NFD) IP and OOP and shut down on unimproved turns.

BTN is 72/13

OTF: At first glance I very much like my hand. No reads.

My standard would be to just bet like 3,25-3,50 here and take it from there. Problem is that the chance that both of them fold is superslim.
- If both call I have to check everything but a Q, 2, maaaybe 6. Even an A isn't too great.
- If one of them calls I can proly barrel the cards mentioned above and add J,K,9 to it so that's not as bad.

Anyways, since I'm not too happy (not too sad either tho) with most outcomes I thought about x/raising. 
- If it get's checked through that's obv not too great but not the end of the world since taking down the pot OTF is so unlikely here that betting doesn't promise that as well.
- If one of them bets (and hopefully the other one calls) I can x/r and heavily decrease the SPR. 

So first question: Is this a good idea in general or just FPS and betting the flop is way to go.
2nd question: If the bet is big I can just x/pot and get in a lot of money and not worry about turns. However, if the bet is $2 or smaller it get's troublesome. I can either still x/pot and get like 10,xx in vs a $2 bet which is still enough I guess or x/r smaller which makes the SPR on turns too high to just blindly shove any (or most) turns.

I hope that's not too many questions and other confusing, non-logical stuff in one thread. Already excited to get a discussion going!
