Prefacing with type of aircraft is great, because not only does it inform your fellow pilots what aircraft to look for and what performance your likely to have, but it adds two more benefits: ATC can now separate visually by saying "you're number 2 after a Seneca on short final", rather than having to look that info up.
As long as it is the type and not just the manufacturer - saying "Cessna" doesn't help me, unless your 152 has the same performance as the XLS that's up your hoop. The aircraft type doesn't really need to be looked up, it's right there on my strip just above your callsign.
