If I have to follow the SID with a 6000' stop height, but have been cleared to FL100, what will I put on the MCP?

6000'; as that is my cleared level until passing XYZ?
FL100; as procedures are to put the cleared level on the MCP?
What will the LTMA controller expect to see on mode S?

SOP is to delete FMC hard heights, will this now change? Will we end up doing a load of FMC number punching in the climb in a busy TMA?
