I personally would stick to
mixed. It's used extensively in the official PHP
documentation and has grown with the language. Heck, even static analysis tools
and billions of PHPDoc comments (e. g. Laravel, CakePHP, Yii) use mixed type.
Switching to any just doesn't feel right.
Oh and well, I also think that mixed makes more sense.
