Suppose I called a raise out of position (heads-up to the flop) and check-called the flop. Does it make sense to lead out on the turn instead of checking? I do it sometimes when I think there is a possibility that he just made a standard c-bet hoping I would fold. In theory I should never do this only with bluffs, but when playing zoom balancing my range is not as important. So when i do have a hand worth calling with I never donk i this spot because I will make more money by checking if in fact he is bluffing.

When someone bet OTF we should not lead on turn but instead donk river in case villain x OTT.
Give him a chance to show his intentions on turn and check to him. According to his play, the board and positions you can decide what to do on the river.
I can't tell you what you should do without seeing a hand that you played. We can't play every hand the same way. There are a lot of things that we have to consider like our stack sizes, positions, our cards, board and what kind of player our villain is.
For instance, if you have a drawing hand, it is often a good idea to donk to the flop if you think that you opponent missed the flop. But that might work better on the flop then turn.
The standard play with a draw on the turn would be check/calling and sometimes we can check/raise, especially vs guys that cbet flop and turn too much. If opponent is folding alot to turn donks, I think donking is fine. Turn donk is not an usuall play as far as I know and we will rarelly have a read about how opponent plays vs turn donks.

Well,on flop you can donk that, but on turn it is better to xc draw hands.
