Numbers if short form is used
I normally follow the source here, especially if there are limits to how long the segments can be. Advertising often has a shorter form than regular text, and if this is of essence in the text, I would use the numbers, if not, I might spell out the lower numbers (up to twelve).

And there is no rule without exception – it all depends on the context at hand.
