ATC opinion please

Hi

Just a quick question from something that came up during one of our technical training days and I guess it is probable aimed more at the area controllers than terminal ones.

If we suffer a rapid decompression and have to initiate an emergency descent, is the preference nowadays for us to set 7700 as well as making a Mayday call or if we are identified and receiving a service to maintain our original squawk?

Cheers
