Since check-raising is presumably the 'better' option, should I just go ahead and check-raise?

Thge idea that checkraising is better than check calling or check folding here, and that the other two are worse options that you should use only to randomize is wrong. Leading into a preflop raiser with a set is a great way to get there stack. CRing is frequently the worst way.

This is when stacks are deep, right? If stacks are shorter and I flop a set shouldn't I check to the raiser who is semi-short so that I commit him to the pot after he makes a play at it?

When stacks are short you're getting TPTK or an overpair's money anyway, so you might be better off checkraising to get a continuation bet when he misses, or to let him catch a turn card.
