I'd default to building without running checks when you issue make in
the module (the developer running the make knows best whether the change
is just adding a debug output, or does the "Real Thing"), and build with
checks when you rebuild the entire LibreOffice - that way, even if you
forget to do your 'make check', your changes are high that you spot the
breakage, or (in the worst case) the tinderboxes uncover that.

Wrt. the naming, I'd do 'all' build only, and 'check' depending on
'all', ie. the 'allandcheck' meaning.
