Quite common spot, facing ugly river card ?

Hello guys, that's my first post here (will try to participate more often in the future :)), the site looks awesome so far thanks to Phil & his cru again, hopefully you will be able to keep it up :) Wanted to discuss the hand, which recently was played in 25/50 PLO game in PS, quite a standard situation, however I found that I probably missplayed it a bit so decided to ask your opinion, here we go :

PokerStars Hand #95227994601: Omaha Pot Limit ($25/$50 USD) - 2013/03/08 23:47:47 EET [2013/03/08 16:47:47 ET]

glosik: calls $400
*** TURN *** [Js 8s 5c] [Ah]
Domce: bets $1150
glosik: calls $1150
*** RIVER ***

So what i wanted discuss is our decision on seperate ugly river for us (I assume my line on previous street was quite good, opposite opinions are welcome), the opponent is regular, who is not playing back too much, however is a decent thinking player. It's quite easy to play the river if it blanks, pairs up or we hit a spade, however on what ugly cards we can actually check call the river bet (leading small & calling/folding is also an option of course) from opponent assuming he is putting us on a set or Ahigh flush combo, which we basically represent. The rivers, which i would like to discuss are K,Q,T,9,7,6,4.

My personal opinion is that it is most likely that 7 & Q are the worst cards in the deck and i am leaning towards chech/folding on those cards as we have As in our hand it's even more likely that his combo consists T9, but what if didn't have As? 4 is a check call in my opinion, as most combos consisting 76 he is folding on the turn. Looking forward to your replies.
