Each tool has its own merits and strengths.

My routine is

export KCFLAGS="-Wall -Werror"
make W=1 sound/
  this typically catches set-but-not-used assignments, kernel-doc, etc.
make C=2 sound/
   Sparse catches big-little issues and when static should be used.
and the cppcheck last.
   this is a bit verbose and not suitable for CI/automation, but catches 
set-but-ignored assignments and differences between declarations and 
definitions. It also catches logical errors (always true, always-false, 
etc).

Hope this helps
-Pierre
