I would raise smaller preflop or even just limp (which keeps the SB in the hand).

We can pretty much guarantee that villian will call a raise and when he does, we will be OOP to him for the rest of the hand. We also know that most times our hand will not improve and we will be playing a difficult guessing game postflop against an aggro villian with a wide range that could hit any board.

Also, as villian is aggro (and a muppet), he is likely to pay us off if we do hit our set, thus negating us not getting so much money in preflop.
