My usual play is to just call here, it's not quite a big enough draw for me to want to get it all in the middle at this point.

I raise to $18 b/c it looks real strong and you want them to fold, but you don't mind a shove b/c you have a monster and you'll be priced in.

I'd be interested in people's thoughts on this hand if both villains had >$80.

12 outs twice (ok sometimes less if the have set, sometimes more if they have lik AJ) gives you great equity in a 3 way pot so i would be raising big.
By just calling you are giving yourself one shot as if UTG fires again on the turn with a decent bet it will be hard to continue.
Plus your draws are obvious and aren't going to get paid much when they do hit. I mean if a 9 hits you will be lucky to get any more.

Hmmmm maybe I need to reaccess how I play these kinds of hands.

I hate when I raise and get re-raised in these spots, calling (or more likely pushing) at that point feels like a spew. But maybe it's not.
