Player dependant i'd either openjam, min/fold or min/call.

Edit: Readless i'd min/fold i think.

min/ fold IMO. Not sure a shove is getting called by worse very often, unless villain knows absolutely nothing about poker.

Open fold is the worst line. Min/fold vs proven nits, jam or r/c vs regs and players capable of restealing light, probably jam vs randoms too.

I dont think so.

If he is passiv weak, openshove.
If he is tight fish, but defends active, r/c,
A5o is way to good in bvb to raisefold this, i think, you have 2 options there.
r/c or openshove, vs regs i prefer first option.

Edit:

What must he reshove, that you can raisefold there? Maybe im too aggressive vs unknown, but i think, average player on 2$ 180s shove not so wide, but wide enough to make A5o profitable r/c.

You need a decent sample on the player to r/f. Just jam it in, prolly most profitable and unexploitable.

Really really dislike a mr/f you're getting exploited so often, even bad players are going to rejam light on you.

Just jam pre, this is a 180 you need to take every edge and play unexploitablely, if you bust - load up another one.

Obviously I'm talking about read less, reads change everything.

Most of the time I like a min raise call here. As said, even bad players now know how to shove light blind vs blind. Obviously it would change with specific reads. Folding to a nit reg, and randoms that do a lot of calling pre flop. Min raise calling everyone else. Folding is a pretty bad option, and shoving is ok but option 2 for me.
