IMHO, a suffix that is repetitive in nature (like "MM") or a familiar
sounding phrase or abbreviation (dare I suggest "HI") might make for the
ultimate contest cw contest call. I'm not sure that lots of dits (EE or
EEE) really "punch" through as well.
Just my two cents...

As a former WA3GYT, I can tell you that any callsign ending
in either dah or dit is a problem on CW. I was called WA3GYY,
WA3GYQ, and even WA3GY (by people who should have known better).
