Which Warp Scale will be used?

I think they'll use the one like this:

"Mr. Sulu take us to warp!"

"Aye sir." Sulu moves lever forward and ship warps away.

In one of the screen caps from the footage that has been shown so far there is a display in the background that says something like "Warp Factor 4.037" or somesuch.
 
There's a chrome plated throttle and barcode scanners on the bridge. I'd be surprised if anyone involved with the production is even aware there are two warp scales.

Throttle in TMP. I'm sure the people involved in this production were aware about the warp scale(s).
 
...

"Just go that way really really fast."

...

"Just make it go!" *gestured forward dismissively*
This.

Chrome handle or no chrome handle, one thing I do not want is for them to get bogged down in any explanation of the warp scale, and I particularly wish them to avoid wasting time specifying which scale. That is non-essential information, as far as I'm concerned, and would only serve to get in the way of telling the story.

Just make it go fast enough, please. :)
