I use RV598SD
I think technically it is correct, at least on first call up, to identify as experimental. I find that doing so, however, virtually always generate a question about what type of experimental I am.
When I identify as an RV, however, only infrequently the controller will call me experimental.
What I gather from that is that most controllers prefer the type because they already know its experimental. A few like to go by the book.
This may also be regional.
When filing IFR I identify as experimental in the comments.
