Default NL400 - Betting vs Checking turn

Villain is 60/25/2

Villain's been splashing around a lot so I 3b him from button vs co. When he donks the flop, I saw no reason to raise, and when he checked the turn, I was pretty sure he had a hand I was ahead of.

Do we bet here for value or do we check to induce a bluff? I thought there was a good enough chance that he bluffs the river or even calls light so i checked behind the turn.

What factors decide whether to bet turn or check to induce?
