I always use the full version. But I also use a hack to make things more 
easily portable. In (farm)config.php, something like:

  switch ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
  case 'localmachinename': $FQDN = 'localmachinename/~marc'; break;
  case ...
  default: $FQDN = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];}

  $FarmPubDirUrl	= "http://$FQDN/pmwiki/pub";
  # $ScriptUrl		= 'http://$FQDN';

I tend to set $ScriptUrl in each field:

  $ScriptUrl = "http://$FQDN/Fieldname";

This evolved more than it was designed, so this is only a suggestion, 
not a recommendation.
