I actually prefer "Alert my star destroyer" to "Bring my shuttle!".

The reason behind this is very simple. Throughout entire trilogy Vader acts very calm and smart. He rarely loses temper (pretty much the only example is "Tear the ship apart!" in ANH). He is chocking officers while calmly making witty and sarcastic remarks (despite them failing him and giving him the reason for anger he appeared like nothing can get to him). That is what makes a villain badass and cool. Anger (losing temper) makes one look lame and unintelligent. The villain is much better if he appears to have everything under control and especially if he is emotionally indestructible (which "Alert my star destroyer" indiactes).

Also "Bring my shuttle!" doesn't fit with him not choking Piett. "Bring my shuttle!" indicates that the confrontation with Luke enraged him. But the scene with Piett suggest a complete opposite. It shows that Vader was rather disappointed by the event to the point that he doesn't even care about Piett's failure and he simply just silently walks away.
