I've never heard it pronounced as anything but "et cetera". The

On the other hand, I say "viz." as "namely", having gotten too many
groans from saying "videlicet". I refuse to say "vizz".
"Etc."
might well be said "and so on" or "and so forth", in much the same
way that "i.e." is said "that is" or "e.g." is said
"for example".
Clarity counts for a lot.

It's
always "Et-Cee" short for et-cetera. (let the flames begin.)
I've always pronouced it 'in full' as 'et cetera'.
