NL100 - Flopped straight on FD board with aggression
Been at table for about 60 hands. UTG raise was typical for play but not indicative of anything other than 'I intend to play the hand'. UTG has shown down everything from SC and small pp's on up from UTG. Hero has been on a rush, winning the previous 4 hands and showing down good cards on 3 of them. (AK, TT, and JJ). All players have a VPIP of about 25.

I would definitely 3-bet, probably about a pot-sized raise, with the intent to get all-in on the turn. A pot-size raise does not give them odds to draw to anything, and sets up a turn push perfectly. A set, two pair, lower straight, or even a big flush draw will probably (incorrectly) push over you anyway.
