I've always been taught to do full rudder checks - but I have a nice big apron to do them on before reaching the taxiway. At walking pace, I deviate off the center line to one side (say left) then use full right rudder, then left full rudder to put myself back on the center line, ensuring I'm reaching the stops each time. The total deviation off the center line isn't more than a few meters.
I suppose the main question is have you checked all of the controls that can be checked. If you can check them - you should check them!
