Yes, good questions. with your 98s example, it's villain dependent like always. The reason you'd consider raising in any of these spots is when you have aggressive opponents who are double and tripping a lot. I think at your stakes, this isn't going to be the case quite as often. I'm talking about an overall strategy where you are staying very aggressive in position against regulars. It's a better strategy than trying to accumulate 20k+ hands so that you can get an idea of their true aggression frequencies. Good aggressive regs will be able to get you to fold your medium strength hands often enough when they have initiative. So you can call down versus their range, or you can apply pressure back. But what line you take you need to be clear on from the beginning.

If you are calling with 98s, then you should know what kind of opponent you're playing at and that you're going to be raising a lot of boards when you whiff, draws, possibly middle pairs. If your opponent isn't aggressive though, and you do hit middle pair, then calling is fine.

OOP you should be limiting what kind of mediocre hands you're playing. When you do have one, yes, c/c lead is a great line against a lot of opponents.

I think at your stakes, calling with middle pairs in position, and probably c/cing and leading half pot OTT when you have a medium strength hand is more ideal. Your opponents won't understand range enough and they'll tend to only raise when they have big hands or have big draws.
