1-2-3 NL AK Top pair Top Kicker Turn decision

Prehand Descriptions
Villain 1: older male in his 60s that is a regular. Hasn't gotten out of line from the past hour that Hero has been at the table.
Hero: TAG style. Playing few hands but raising all hands that I play preflop

Everyone at the table has been straddling $6 after they win the pot about 80% of the time(not Hero).

$1/2/3 NL (2 handed)
UTG Hero ($410)
MP Villain ($400)

Hero is dealt AKo

Preflop: Hero raises to $15, Villain calls $15

Flop ($30): K, 3, 5 rainbow
Hero bets $30, Villain calls

Turn ($90): 9 diamond
Hero?

Wondering if I go for value or try to induce Villain to bet by checking turn to show weakness. Should I bet for value every time or throw in some checks?

Described V probably isn't going to stab turn often enough to make me want to get tricky here. I'd probably just barrel, and pretty big, to target V's stubborn KX combos.
