I'm going to go question by question and throw out some ideas for you guys. The main two themes here are planning for the turn when you c-bet the flop and c-betting the turn whenever you have pot equity (ie outs vs better hands) and fold equity.

Strong made hands and diamond flush draws are obvious choices here. The most underrated c-betting hand here is probably something like JT of clubs. It's so good because it gives you a lot of good turn cards to c-bet with (all diamonds, all clubs, any Ace), and plus you have a gutshot and chances to hit a pair if Villain calls down with TT or 9x.

This is a great card to c-bet on the turn with a relatively wide range. It's very hard for Villain to make a second call with something like JJ here knowing that he will have to face a river bet sometimes where he'll be likely to make a mistake.

This card isn't so great for barreling. You should probably bet again with flush draws, but most of your bluffing hands have not picked up fold equity or pot equity. You're mostly looking to get a hand like second pair to fold.

There are a lot of gutshots with backdoor flush draws on this board. Hands like AK, AJ and KJ with a backdoor flush draw are also great for continuation betting because you'll pick up equity on the turn so often. Be careful continuation betting a flop this dry without chances to pick up equity on the turn because you're going to need to get a lot of good barrel spots to push the tagg off of dumb hands like TT that he thinks he can just call with because you are continuation betting this type of Qxx board often.

Hands with two spades like AK, AJ, KJ, JT, J9, T9, 97 (if it's in your pre-flop range) should be barreling this turn always with little to no exception against a tagg player. I would also not be opposed to always barreling with AK and AJ here regardless of the suit. The reason is that you have decent pot equity against single pair hands, and you have decent fold equity because you hold blockers against a lot of his top pair hands.
