Yes 99% of the time unless I'm diving with someone that has a lot of experience that I dove with many times before. But someone new are less experienced always.
 
I may be a new diver but I learnt my leason with my co2 episode on dive #9. I will be doing a full buddy check no matter who I dive with.
 
Yes, but some more than others.........

A regular buddy, we do a quick once over making sure everything is in place (clipped off, stowed etc) and we look and monitor valve, reg, hose checks (mod s-drill).

Non regular, do full check, confirm that things are there, clipped, go down, do a full s-drill etc.
