el.is(':checked')

That's the jQuery way. At its core, though, it's just a bit more parsing to get down to el[0].checked, using the raw DOM property, so take whichever you prefer. The DOM method is probably better for actually testing an element, whereas :checked is better for selecting it in the first place.
