200 Zoom - Awkward turn spot w trips

BN: $480.87
SB: $180.34
BB: $478.84
UTG: $200
HJ: $224.93
CO: $525.58 (Hero)
CO is 22/9 winning reg who is fairy well balanced and isn't getting out of line too much. He can mix it up though and we have battled a little over the last few sessions. He views me as a little spewy and is likely to be 3betting me a little light this deep to try and win some big pots.
Preflop ($3.00) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A 3
UTG folds, HJ folds, Hero raises to $4.22, BN raises to $16, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls $11.78
I am never folding Axs to a 3b this deep. I can win big pots and i am not put in lots of money with 1p.
Flop ($35.00) 7 8 3 (2 Players)
Hero checks, BN bets $21, Hero calls $21
His flop sizing is good and puts me in a tough spot on later sts. With so much money behind though i figure i have enough implied odds to try and spike one of my 5 gin cards and possible win a big pot.
Turn ($77.00) 7 8 3 3 (2 Players)

Best card in the deck shows up and i am lost. CR has merits because it allows me to get as much money into the pot as i can. The problem with it is that even with my perceived somewhat spewy image, a turn CR just seems so strong and he isn't the type of guy to lose a bunch here with QQ. I suspect he checks back turn with a lot of his range anyway. From a balance perspective, if i do CR 3x here, then what part of my range am i taking the same line with? 

Check calling also has merits but again i see him checking back a lot of good SDV and some draws. people just get super passive when stacks get this deep. Unless he has AA i really don't see him going for 3 sts unimproved. Seems to be the best play from a balance view, as it would be awesome to have 3x in my check calling range.

Leading is something i didn't consider in play, but now it seems like it deserves some thought as well. We are deep enough that he may keep turn looking to make a hand and he isn't folding a over pair either. It also allows me to balance with some draws myself when i have them.

Pretty lost in summary about how to go about playing this turn. Thoughts?
