Those that get the short version ("squawk 1,2,3,4, Summit" (or other departure procedure name)) are on a letter of agreement with the Tower. The LOA depicts that we will issue the clearance that format to the participating airlines, so their pilots are expecting exactly that phraseology. The participating airlines for the LOA are Delta, Air Tran, ASA, and Comair. All others should get their clearance in the standardized format. Having said that, those 4 airlines are about 80+% of the clearances I issue, so it may seem like everyone gets it that way, but they do not.
Hope that answers your question.

What's your take on pilots just reading back the squawk code and ramp number, for non-LOA airlines?
