In the real world, there tends to be a choice.

Choice 1

G-ABCD: "G-CD is Final, runway nn"

ATC: "G-CD, Continue approach, one ahead to land/make a touch and go/etc"


Choice 2

G-ABCD: "G-CD is Final, runway nn, contact 1 ahead"

ATC: "G-CD, Roger Continue approach"


I don't know that one is better than the other. I would imagine that pilots who adopt Choice 2 are attempting to demonstrate to ATC that they are looking out of the window and have some understanding of the traffic situation.
