Where are you based? In the UK cheers acts a generic end of conversation, with connotations of friendliness and informality. I tend to use cheers over thanks when I want to imply a friendly/casual tone or when I've helped the other person out. In the latter case it functions the same as 'your welcome' but without requiring the other person to have said thanks first. Cheers communicates the same tone without the risk of coming off as passive aggressive.
