Personally, I think it looks better if the X is given immediately rather than after discussion; but maybe that's just me.

I can "see" that.
(ok, it was RIGHT there!)
The other side, at least IME is that these types of fouls often come with a double whistle anyways. If one official goes X and another goes with a fist, who takes priority? If you both come out with fists, quick 5 second huddle, and then come out with the X some would say is 'perceived' better. If there is only one whistle, I can see where the "quick X" would be best.
I am not sure there is a perfect solution to the problem, but IMO, it is just a matter of taste and direction.
