It's pretty simple really. You value bet coz you think you can get called by worse. You c/c when you think that villain will bluff if checked to and/or will have the tendency to value cut himself. For ex. on that board, some villains might bet turn and shove river with AQ coz he figures that you would never check 2 pair/set or a flush and so your hand looks like AJ/AT just trying to see a showdown (which is probably a true assumption). If you were to bet, however, villain might fold river seeing as he might figure you are never bluffing this board (and it is hard for you to have a hand is bad enough to have to bluff) and never value betting a worse Ax. 
 
What you ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT DO is something like c/c because you are scared of having to bet/fold IF you get c/red, even though bet/folding is correct in a spot where villain would never turn his hand into a bluff/never have air and would never value bet worse or whatever because we have much better equity vs his calling range than his betting range (and his raising range after we bet is completely different to his calling range after we bet - ie. a river raising range tends to bee the nuts or a hand/air turning itself into a bluff). c/cing to "see showdown" is a horrible mentality to take. Just random thoughts to consider - not directly related to anything posted.
