Your first option would be how I'd say it.

I use the first form. It's easier to say.

I agree: use the first. Worse than taking more effort the word "sign" might even distract the listener.

There shoud have been a comma in that last sentence. "Worse than taking more effort, the word 'sign' might even distract the listener."
