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.

What's your plan on a spade/5/6/8/10/J turn? If you 3b the flop?
edit: i dont know what i've done to make the text blurry/less kontrastyyy sorry.
I can't 3bet the flop, I guess you mean when I raise the flop.
That's exactly the point I'm trying to make, there are so many bad turn cards that I'm not sure whether I want to raise the flop.
You def want to lead out here imo. It's five players to the flop, you have the nuts in a situation where there probably won't be too many light c-bets, and you also don't want to give free cards. So just lead out big. Turn will be tricky obviously, but playing overly passive on the flop won't make it easier.
As played you def. want to raise. I would raise full pot, given that there should be plenty of hands that can call a full sized bet and you just want to get value for your hand.
