There isn't a big difference if you are only talking about the q-search.

If you do a check, you have to get out and that extends.  If you extend
on the check you don't extend when you get out and that extends.

It is different in the normal part of the search, because if you extend on
a check you increase depth by one now.  You might reach the q-search if you
wait to extend when you escape check.  but in the q-search I don't see how it
is a "big difference".
