Stylistically, the best english output here is to use the contraction.  In 
english, contractions should be used except where there is specific reason not 
to.

ie, "it's" is to be preferred over "it is", since the latter is read as 
emphasising "is".  This unusual emphasis breaks the flow of reading as it 
prompts the reader to look for the reason for the emphasis; which is good if 
there is a reason, but poor if there isn't.
