Saying each number separately is best.

It is especially important if you are saying a number in the teens. If you say "seventeen", fast typists will type in the 7 before they realize they have it wrong and have to correct it by hitting <home> or backspace to put in the 1.

I used to use 'fifty-four' for the check, but had lots or requests for
repeats, so I also started using 'five four' for the check and had lots
less requests.

I think 54 and 64 sound a lot alike in the QRM.  73
