Also, it's doubtful we're getting these guys off of a flush draw -- in fact, their inability to fold when given incorrect odds is one of our biggest advantages.
When in position, I would probably take a free card in most instances since I think that's the best EV-wise play against most villains.

Good point about not being able to get villain off flush draws if he calls the flop.
I haven't been using a HUD/PT for that long, so I'm still kind of new to characterizing villains. Any general tips for reading player types would be much appreciated.
For example I've noticed that villains with stats like 40/2/.5 habitually reveal hand strength by bet size. Minbet = bottom pair, 1/3rd pot = middle pair, 1/2pot or greater = TP, overbet/re-raise = strong holding. Every now and then you run into one who minbets a really strong hand, and it works on me every time 
-TAGG or Tight passive types are better to bluff than looser players.
-If a 20/2 makes a PFR, get the hell out of there without something really strong.
-A 14/12 raising from CO/BU is a good candidate to defend your blinds with a 3-bet.
-Villains with low post-flop aggression like to slowplay
These are a few of some of the more obvious 'general' reads I've incorporated into my game, but I know there's more out there...
