I don't think 3betting is an option as my hand is rainbow and it's gonna be a multiway pot anyway.

Here's my question. First decision is whether to lead or not. I can see merit in both lines and would like to read some more opinions.
Given we checked, the second decision is whether to call or raise the 3BB bet. Intuitively it looks like a raise, because we want to max charge them with draws and have the best hand now and often on the turn. However, there are 25 cards which take the nuts away from me on the turn. When I pot here it's gonna be 22BB with 90 or so behind, so SPR is still quite high. Even when my opponents do not hit a draw which gets there on the turn it probably kills my action. I don't think that Villains make a large mistake in this spot ever (if any) when I pot (unless someone gets in a worse set or 2pair). So I think calling is an option one should consider. Seems counterintuitive and I don't think I necessarily lose money by potting the flop, but I don't think I make much money either.
