I know it's just my opinion, but even though 'checkout' is overloaded with meanings, I always find it the most unambiguous. Some of my coworkers keep telling me to use 'switch' instead, but every time I try it, I find myself wondering how it works

I get it but I think you're essentially saying "I learnt it this way and it's hard to change once I learnt it that way". My argument is that "when teaching others, it's better to teach them to use switch and restore rather than checkout".
