Ordinarly I'd say if the board was rainbow I'd opt for a cbet because then we are happy to take it down with a high frequency.
You're giving reasons why we should bet, not check.
We want a spade to call, we're betting for value + protection here, not just protection.

How do we know any of this?
I've seen tons of people slow play AA, so while it's unlikely villain has AA, it's certainly possible.
Why wouldn't he have 99? No one 3bets 99 pre.
He check/called with a much better hand 2x, why couldn't he have 99?
