Yeah use full sign on every first call. Now if you're in the same airplane/at the same airport a lot you could probably shorten it up but technically its full sign on first and shorten after ATC shortens.

i.e.

You - N1234 is ready for takeoff
Tower - N34 cleared for takeoff
You - Cleared for takeoff, N34

I try to make my caslls as short as possible. Drop the adjectives, and adverbs and just stick with the key ifno. For example when I call inbound to a class D I'll usually say something like "Oz Tower, Apache 1234, 12 Miles East, Inbound, Fullstop, Delta."
