Table/player personality and position seem much more important. If you have somebody who tries to push people around after you, you always want to check, but if there's two of a suit on the board, and more than one opponent, then betting, raising is obviously necessary. Personally in early position, especially under the gun I usually bet. For some reason, people don't like to believe utg has a good hand. I usually play at a six person table so betting the nuts correctly is really important to get the most out of the hand as possible.
