If I may add one more opinion to the mix, I personally like Steve's
preference myself, pronounce the numbers as whole words, the way the
doubletalk and the bns do. So, for example, 1234567 would be spoken as
one-million two-hundred-thirty-four-thousand
five-hundred-sixty-seven, without the dashes of course, which I only
put in for clarity.
