My opponent is 18.6/11/2 over 75 hands. I flopped top two out of position on a draw heavy board and get 3bet by the button.
I don't think I like flatting, give the draws possible and being out of position. Do I just 4bet him here and try to get it in? What is his flop stack off range? He could be raising me with alot of Aces and flush draws, only one set he is likely to have.
Flatting might keep the weakest of his flop 3bet range around, however the pot will be getting big and I'm still out of position and the turn could be gross. Do I flat and play for stacks on good turn cards and check/fold anything else?

I 3bet, call a shove. If he flats I shove basically every turn. Even if he had 55 (which he shouldn't given his terrible raise size) you still have some equity. He has AQ, AJ, A10, combo draws a lot imo.

Easy 3-bet on the flop imo. Just to avoid confusion, 3-bet on flop is the 3rd bet/raise because there's no blinds to count as bets. So he didn't 3 bet you on the flop, he just raised you (2-bet) you. l
You're equity is great vs his range that contains draws, hands you have crush that he may still stack off with and only one hand really that beats you. Since we're a good bit ahead of his draws, let's 3 bet this flop while he's still wlling to get it in with them.

i think you need to re-raise here as stated by others.
You dont mind so much taking it down here (if villian folds) because as you said there are a lot of really ugly cards that can come on the turn which could make for some pretty nasty decisions, especially if villian gets active.
Make it 12-16 to go and dont mind getting it in on that flop. You get a lot of combo straight/flush draws that hang around which you're ahead of so this is +EV.. pull me up if that point is out.
