Keep the "arm thing" straight. Crisp, proper mechanics are more important, IMO, than putting on a "personality show."
Especially with years of experience, your own "style" and personality will filter into your officiating. You can still achieve this without sacrificing sharpness. I'd go for the "robot" look any day over the "sloppy" look.
I don't think geography has anything to do with it. We have the slobs and the robots and everything inbetween here in the Northeast as well.
