Title versus longevity on LinkedIn profile?

I have been on the same team since I've joined (~1yr) and basically in the same functional role/level. In this time I have moved quickly from contractor, to FTE, and now hold a "lead" title (no comp change).
The actual work performed has basically remained constant, and I wouldn't necessarily describe each stage differently.
What I wonder is, would it be better for my career profile (LinkedIn) to list the most senior role given with total accumulated time in the org, or list three separate titles in the same organization with shorter durations listed (connoting the rapid growth)?
Recruiter insights welcome.

The time that it could hinder is if you’ve only been in the more senior role for a short time and the role you’re applying/getting recruited for requires experience in senior roles.
Prefer stating all roles as well. People are iffy about candidates trying to pass off as being full time for full length if they were contractors even part of that time, as well as if you try to pass off being in the most senior position the full time and interviewers back channel.
