You're on the point of igniting a flame war here!

Even the Ada language is inconsistent here: we don't say
{Standard.}Integer_Type, but we do say {Ada.Text_IO.}File_Type.

Personally I don't use _Type or _T, you know the name is that of a type
from context (eg, in 

   Foo : Bar;

you know Bar is a type). I will admit that this sometimes requires more
thought; it's easy to say

   Bar : Bar_T;

But more thought is usually a Good Thing.

The only "standard" style guide I know is the Ada 95 Quality and Style
Guide[1]. There is an Ada 2005 update in the form of a wikibook[2].
