When to c/c vs bet/call

Hi all!

I have had previous success at HUNL and am starting to play some HU PLO because it is an extremely fun game! I played this hand vs villain, I think I played it fairly standard, I might fold flop against some villains but this guy plays too honestly on turns and I know he is going to c/f more than enough (+ my equity). Since he is check folding a lot when he bets I think he is going with it like 80% and I am not in love with the spot since I am dead vs JT+ but I think it is a standard jam.

Anyway, what I am interested in is when do we play the turn c/c game vs bet call. His hand is obviously strong enough to bet call, but what conditions do we look for when deciding whether to bet call vs c/c. I agree with his line and at the moment I am basically preferring the c/c line when a) it is a better card for his range, not so applicable on this board and b) my hand is not quite strong enough to bet call (or at least i feel plays better as c/c), maybe something like T987, although perhaps this does better by shoving because naked Jx will fold and T987 is vulnerable. I am not entirely sure.

I am not interested in this hand in particular, just general criteria for preferring 3bet, cbet flop and c/c vs bet/call. I am aware it also changes as stacks get deeper.

Thanks!
