Check & repair all will recursively go over each account and then perform a check & repair on 
the selected account.

So it does the same thing.

However, depending on the type of account different check & repair actions can be triggered. I 
don't know all of the repair actions being triggered. I do know that for AR and AP type 
accounts the action to clean up lot links will be triggered in addition to the default checks. 
That lots link clean up will not happen for other account types.
