A complete file name is what most users would expect here.A complete file name takes too much of the screen space on the mode line, IMO. You'd need to make the font used by the mode-line face to be much smaller, and even then it will steal too much space.
This value of uniquify-buffer-name-style has been a part of every major "starter kit" for quite some time:
