Almost totally a matter of preference.

I sometimes work on code from a guy who indents a double-space at a time;
while I do it a tab at a time.
He pointed out that it makes his *printed* code better fit on the page - and
he's right.

I still use tabs, but I'll be integrating his idea in my releases.
For release, ya always gotta do some cleanup and, making the code print
better seems to be a good one.
