he raise me on the flop, so i put him on pair A plus flush draw, or A plus straight draw or both.
since he is aggressive, so i figure, checkraise would be nice

The check raise certainly worked in this case, but imagine if he checked then the river was a third heart or even a J Q, K, 2 or 3 then you bet out and he shoves and you either fold mad or call hoping he has a pair or 2 pairs.
I'd be more inclined to reraise on the flop maybe $4 or $5 more and if he calls you have him a lot more committed to call a large or all in bet on the turn. If he does that and has a draw and hits it, oh well, but at least you made him make a big error that way and you avoided any frustrating situations later on.
In this case he put it all in for you on the turn but you want to play a big pot with this hand so I would start building it at every opportunity.
3 bet and lead the turn...
Taking the line you did (flat-calling a raise on the flop, and check-raising the turn) you never gain any information about your opponents hand. IMO you should have 3 bet the flop.
Also, note the small amount that your opponent raised/bet each time. Maybe he didn't want you to fold.
Is that saying you put him on a pair of aces AND a flush draw? If so, that's not possible on this board (unless you mean runner/runner flush).
If you mean any pair and a flush draw, then you're saying 5X of hearts. Not very likely since you have 55.
Also, you're saying he is aggressive, doesn't that mean he would have raised an ace preflop? If so, that eliminates an ace.
As you played it, I'd check/call the turn and the river as well (unless the board paired).

I imagine since you are posting this, he had AA, 77 or he flopped the nut straight.
My guess though is that he slow played AA.

My 2 cents!

77 raised on that flop? maybe... but i doubt it
77 pushes on the turn? no... maybe 1010
1010 limped preflop? doubt it
Flopped the straight? probably

I hate every decision in chronological order. (least to most-excluding the all in call)
