Aaron,

Using just the variable name will work, but the CF server must check all
variable scopes (e.g. FORM, URL, SERVER, etc.) until it finds the
variable.  If you specify the scope, the server has less work to do.

If the variable may be in more than one scope (e.g. the current page can
be reached via either a form submittal or a hyperlink), then you'd be
better off omitting the scope.
