The 'best' is up to you to figure out based on your needs and what you want to see or do with the spreadsheet.

Three possibilities immediately come to mind:

1. Budget Report — Even without using GnuCash to budget, it can still show consolidated Actuals by period, quarter, year, etc.

2. Account Report - Run this while viewing a checking register. You'll have to do this for each account separately.

3. Transaction Report - Can get you everything from multiple accounts and can sort and subtotal in various ways. Date ranges are highly customizable.

Are you *certain* you want to export transactions based on their link to a checking account? Checking accounts are just sources of funds, not why you are spending the money.

For budgeting purposes, you more likely want the transactions that touch your Expense accounts.
