The other problem I have with a flop raise is that it makes it more likely showdown is going to cost us our stack.

On the turn we're way ahead/behind unless you consider the flush draw.
Come on, you don't like showing down/playing for stacks with AA??

What about the villian making this continuation bet with QQ thinking you have AK?? Again, I think a (non-committing) flop re-raise is in order here 9/10 times. If he 3-bets (seems like a foreign word in NL) then you have to consider you might be beat, and prevent yourself from losing your entire stack.
