Default Sump Pump question

Discharge side near the pump. I've never know anyone to put a
check valve on the suction side. Always on the discharge.

Is it better to have the check valve located at the base of the

pump
near the inlet or further away on the discharge pipe above the

pump?
Also, would two check valves be of advantage, one at the base

another
a couple of feet above the base? TIA
