Discussing programming style is tantamount to discussing religion.
I have mine. You have your's. However, if one limits the discussion
to styles of indention then perhaps a quantitative judgement could
be made. I don't mean a popularity poll. 

With some moderate effort. Probably equivalent to a senior project
in psychology. The affect of these different styles on readability,
block chunking or (your favorite factor goes here) could be gaged.

Any seniors out there needing a project? Go for it.

Solid, statistically significant results would be enough for this
professional to change his style. Unless mine would be found to
be the "best". :->
