I'm personally a fan of the 12 hour format for casual conversation and 24h for anything else. 4 PM or 4 in the afternoon sounds better than 16:00 for casual speak imo.
But man, I'm bad with the 24h format lol. I often need to consciously correct myself in that 18:00 =/= 8 PM.
As someone who lives in a country that does not speak english and uses the 24-hour format, you don't say "see you at 17", you say "see you at 5", you will know just by context, AM and PM does not make a diference most of the time thanks to context and when it does we just say "8 at night" or "6 in the morning"
