I think it depends on the situation. Who your opponent is, how strong his board is (Chip Reese actually recommends betting trips when your opponent's board is weak and checking when it's strong, because this is how you would play when you only had a pair, but some of his advice is probably more concerned with how to play against strong players), how many players are in the pot and other factors.
In this situation I would lead out simply because no one is folding, and someone may even raise you. You want to get as many bets in the pot as possible here, regardless of whether or not it telegraphs the strength of your hand (the player with the possible flush draw may even incorrectly chase for multiple bets on 4th if it gets raised and reraised behind him). Check-raising is actually quite bad because the most likely bettor is to your left, meaning you risk needlessly knocking players out.
