Several choices for all individual officials nationwide: say nothing, everybody say (pretty much) the same thing (according to the When In Rome ... principle), or everybody say their own thing.

Since most mechanics sets (IAABO, NFHS, CCA) have us say something (realizing that some geographic areas use an approach allowing for individual expression) we (those that follow a specific mechanics set) might as well say (and signal) what the manual wants us to say (and signal), it doesn't get much (other than the freedom to say (and signal) anything the individual official wants) easier than that, especially when teaching mechanics to new officials (they can look it up).
