what is the best/correct Action to use in the Investing account register for a transfer of cash/dividends to my everyday checking account? IntIncX seems most likely but looking for confirmation.

    The IntIncX would be for interest income directly transferred to checking. DivX would apply to a dividend directly transferred. If you are receiving several such distributions and making an aggregate transfer, you would use the applicable non-X transaction, and then a Withdraw or WriteChk transaction categorized to the [Checking account], or an XOut transaction.

    Alternatively, if the interest (or other investment income) is received in a non-retirement account, you can turn on the "Show cash in a Checking account" feature of the brokerage account.

    This will cause a pseudo-checking account to be created with ALL of the cash transactions moved from the brokerage account to the pseudo-acct.
