I know some people will
include position when they check-in with a controller they have been
handed off to, but isn't necessary.

Interesting as I have never heard anybody give their position when handed
off? What do they say for their position.

Only thing I report on hand offs is my altitude and read back the altimeter
if center acknowleges me with a altimeter setting.

I.E.
Memphis Center Sundowner one niner four three lima 7000

I have never heard anything any different other then an initial callup
where they give location, altitude and request VFR flight following or an
IFR picking up their clearance.
