Playing big draws and sets

So right now I'm trying to figure out how to play certain cases online.
Say you flop top set on a really wet board. Would you try to get as much money in and how your opponent bricks turn/river or you you pot control and see a cheap turn? This is assume standard 100bb stacks.
Same goes for big draws such as wsd+flush draws. Do you repop and draw for your entire stack or hope you hit turn/river and get paid off via pop control?
I'm thinking playing for stacks and pot/shipping flops means more variance but also better returns?
What do you guys think?

for 100bb, im getting it in with both scenarios
you should assume 200bb

for anything less than 150 bb i just get in and thats it. sometimes you have fold equity too by bet-raising a draw on flop, too

I've been doing that and letting the math do the work. Basically just getting it in and hoping that I either hold up or I can spike my draws.
Getting the standard massive swings as expected. Fun

I think this is pretty stake/villain dependent. up to 150bb Im gettng it in. Anything beyond that it becomes too difficult to say without a hand history/reads
