@CaptMongo, since XX yrs ago I only flew AB and that's with FCOM guidance on this topic only.
Provided directly via FCOM, or copied verbatim into company books, or re-written with their own wordings (usually due local language requirement from the CAA and then back-translated to English for expat crews).
Your #31 fits my experience and the standards required as per above. Sometimes it is not the choice of wording, but the choice of people. Happy skies to you, sir.

In a nitpicking fashion, on FBW Airbii only (no back driven throttles):
There could be a tiny bit of a delay between TLs reaching the TOGA/FLX detent and N1s / EPR coming to the target (doughnut), if PF shoves them up as if this was FED/ECB printing money. In such that case, I personally enjoy seeing the hands go off once the N1/EPRs catche up - i.e. when the desired action (TO N1/EPR) is completed not in the middle of the activity.
N.b. that is not the same as "thrust set" verification.
