We're both a bit deeper than normal. What are the best lines for this hand?

Well, hopefully Oj will provide more 6max insight, but my 2 cents more from FR perspective:

I don't like the PF re-raise. I think you're much too deep to tip your hand this early. Other than that, I don't see how else you can play it. A medium to high wrap is very plausible for him, so I'd just give him credit for 2 pair there and fold. I'm not willing to play just naked AA with gutshot for stack.

How often do you reraise and how likely is it that opponent puts you on AA?
It looks like a good spot for opponent to lead out with combination draws, of which he can have tons. In 6 max most people automatically stack off with AA+nfd, so he's not afraid of that. It can also be that he floated the flop and now picked up either another pair or another draw, like Ais said. Finally he can just float you and bet the turn regardless but that takes both a strong player and a very good read, so let's hope you're not in that spot.

Anyhow, I don't think you can continue here since you're simply in too poor shape against his range, even if he bluffs and semibluffs a lot.

Also, this may be a spot to bet slightly smaller on the flop, so that 1) you invest less and 2) you leave more money for the river in case a heart comes and needs representing.
