Do You Continue Value Betting or Go for Cheap Showdown When Turn Completes Flush Draw?

When I played the $5,000 buy-in Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open last year, it was very early on Day 1 when a big hand developed. With the blinds at just 100/100, we were really deep-stacked when I look down at the in the cutoff and raised to 400 off of our 40,000 (400 BBs) stack.

Both the players in the small and big blinds, who were sitting on the same stack, made the call and the flop came down . Both players checked to me and I continued for 500. Looking back, I think I prefer a bet of like 800 to build the pot a bit and to price out some draws.
