I use "Skyhawk nnnn" in the 172, consistently.

That's the style at the (non-towered) airfield at which I do my
flying.

The Cubs don't have installed radios, and I've never heard another Cub
Driver on the radio, so I make my own style. I say "Piper Cub" XXXX
because it trips fast off the tongue. After the first call I saw "the
Cub" with no numbers. Again, non-towered. At a towered field, I use
whatever the controller used when he first replied to me, typically
the last three numbers/digits.
