This all depends on what your goals are.
If you want to make $3.5 per hour at NL10 for the rest of your life, then go the easy way and avoid tough spots.
However, if your goal is to become better, move up and make $35 per hour at NL100+ or even $350+ per hour at highstakes, then you shouln't make a habit of avoiding all marginal spots.
The main purpose of playing marginal spots is to become a better player, not to making that additional $0.01.

Do you really think this hand is that +EV? What kind of fold equity do we have because when we get called here we have 35% equity at best...
We need some fold equity (I'd guess >~55%) for sure but we have the appropriate read on villain: "villain was 25/20 with a
high fold to 3bet over decent sample". As you said, 3betting 57s BB vs BTN might be marginal but I'm pretty sure it is +EV given our read and getting into tough spots makes us a better player.
