    I am not sure at all about your river calling range above:

    1) QQ-TT: this is probably one of these he folded (could include 88 and 99 as well: since the stacks are super deep he would be justified set mining pre). He gets 3b pre, but holds an overpair on the flop and turn, which would justify his calls. However the river A leaves him no hope of beating anything you could be holding.

    2) AK: would he really call the flop and turn with naked AK? The only A's I can see him getting to the river with are AcKc, AcQc, maybe AcJc.

    I'm unsure myself, although TT-QQ may still call 1/2 pot size bet for these reasons;

    1) They beat a bluff like 2 random broadways i decided to 3barrel or a FD on the flop and the A is a scare card that i might bluff at pretty often so he may talk himself into making a hero call.

    2) Their aren't many aces in my range that would take a bet bet bet line often here only AA, i'm never triple barreling AKo only AcKc. So there's only a few combos of aces there. Although this point may be irrelevant as he may not even be putting me on a range at all.

    I think i'm still leaning towards a $5-$6.50 being the best sizing for this river spot, if anyone else can provide solid logic for an alternative size or play speak up.

    You mean if you had double-barreled AK or AQ on the flop and turn you wouldn't bet this river!?

    No, i mean i wouldn't double barrel AQ-AK vs this opponent in this spot without having the AcQc AcKc. So it cuts down on the Ax combos in my range.
