I would prefer c/r flop, lead turn on Ah with something like 7h6h, 7h5h, 6h5h, Ac4x, 5c4c, JhTh, Jh9h or Th9h. I think this line is probably okay with 8h6h against tighter ranges, but his pre-flop range is so wide that his flop range is going to be pretty weak, so this becomes strong enough to play for a c/c. You have tons of hands that you can make good bluffs with, so you don't have to throw in semi-strong hands like 86.
The thing about 8h6h here is that it's relatively strong in terms of making pairs and relatively weak in terms of drawing power. Compare that to a hand like JhTh that doesn't have much strength in terms of pairs but that does have a lot of drawing power. Hands like 8h6h are better for fleshing out your c/c passive-type lines, and hands like JhTh are better for playing with your more aggressive lines.
Along these lines, you're also going to look to play your top pair hands in a very strong way most of the time here.
I hope that helps. Your head's in the right place here.
