25NL - 2nd pair facing suspicious river bet 25NL - 2nd pair facing suspicious river bet

Villain is 18/12 over 180 hands. My only note on him is that he'll call 3bets with small PPs. Him checking behind on the turn is fairly suspicious, but it's possible he's doing this with a weak A and maybe some weird 3x hand.

Are you guys leading the flop in this hand? I just think if I check here I give him a chance to stab at it with his air. Seeing as that may have happened, am I now committed to calling the river?

People play pot control all the time with really good hands, I think he is valuebetting river. Checking flop is fine.

What good does c-betting do here if we're just getting called by better and folding out worse?

Meh, that seems like a cop out to me. You're basically saying we should be betting the flop for information, which is never a good plan. I don't see what other reason we could have for betting the flop.

This. Cbet and give up here when called. As played, you're in a spot where it's impossible to narrow down his hand range, and consequently you have exactly no idea how to react on the river. Calling or folding is really a blind guess at this stage, so do whatever.
