I'll give a hand-check or push preliminary if the foul caused the offensive player to violate or step OOB.
Other than that (and PC/Block crashes) I'm only going with a fist on the spot.

Same...block/charge plays and fouls that cause violations. I couldn't imagine myself doing preliminaries for anything else and certainly not all the time.
I do think as a practice, it's not a bad one to teach new officials in that it'll more than likely slow them down and make sure they have the fouler and possible shooter. But for an experienced official? Overkill.
