Actually, neither.

In a jet a big factor is turn radius, so keeping the speed back minimizes the time until enroute. It also, transiently, costs you initial ROC to achieve your Vx or Vy, and unless it's a high altitude you will probably reach it faster by staying back at Vcl.

If it is a low altitude, it may not even be worth cleaning up until in the turn.
