Whenever pm or am is involved, use the numeral: 7:00 pm. Whenever "o'clock" is involved, spell out the number: twelve o'clock at night. If time is written in an essay, try to use words if possible: twelve-thirty in the evening.

7 p.m., 7 pm, 7 PM look okay to me.

In British English the periods are often left out.
