I think the answer to this question is sometimes bet and more often check.
I think if you always choose one option it's not optimal.

Do we even need a ck back range here? It seems it’s a choice between c betting everything (AK, over pair, wheel draws) or check back everything. You never have a set (villain neither probably) so if you Chk back KK+ AK, your betting bluffs and 99-QQ?
For the times you have KK+ and get big value from villains JJ etc, I think checking is worse.

Assuming that hero is squeezing with a linear range that consists mostly of big pairs and broadway cards, I'd advocate betting our whole range small with 100% frequency and then making decisions on turns. If you look at range vs range we are a favorite against a range that is mostly dominated by our value range and not able to give us multiple streets on a lot of different runouts. V's range is pretty face up so I would lean towards more exploitative play.
