This doesn't happen too often. If he is drawing to the same flush, he has 2 of your outs. This significantly reduces your chances of hitting it. Playing Axs strictly for the situation when you are against xys isn't a good idea. It happens so rarely.

That said, I don't mind limping along, but not for the reasons you mention. I also don't mind raising, it really depends on the opponents. Your question is pretty vague to give an exact answer, or even a general guideline as there are too many variables. One thing I will say; cold calling a raise is usually a mistake with these hands.
