I'd say "bell" in all circumstances.

Someone used "on your left" on me last week when I was out for a walk. I didn't have any idea what it meant until I turned and saw him coming up on me. Now, I was keeping to the side, and he was going slow, so there was no trouble. Still, as a pedestrian I don't expect to hear "on your left", so it means nothing to me. A bell I expect, and react to accordingly...and so, I wager, do most other non-cyclists.
