I would always go for a player with current squad number, but if you play a specific number and would love that, then why not go with that for a change? Just make sure that your name isn't the same as a current player then choose your own squad number.
For example, Barry Ferguson plays with a number 6 jersey for Rangers. At the UEFA Cup Final when we were in Manchester, there was a fan who had Ferguson on his shirt because that was also his surname but he'd got number 8 on the shirt. This was his own local team number but people thought he was just daft and got Barry's number wrong!!
