Very hard to choose... Where I work, the ABSOLUTE coding standard is tabs, amd
that is taken very seriously.
However, my personal preference is 2 spaces.

My workplace doesn't have a policy on it, but I tend to use tabs. For my
personal projects, I used to indent with spaces (I usually used 3 spaces), but
I've started using tabs. It seems easier to be consistent when using tabs, and
also with tabs, editors often give you the option on how much space it will use
to represent a tab. For my Synchronet scripts/mods, I used to use Notepad2 (in
Windows) to edit them, and eventually switched to Notepad++. Notepad++ made it
more obvious that indentation was inconsistent in many places - Some code had a
mixture of tabs and spaces, which was hard to tell with Notepad2 because they
looked similar and the indentation looked good with Notepad2.

The tab width preferemce was the exact argument made why it's an absolute
coding standard where I work, and it does work really well in that aspect,
and the 2-spaces standard is left over feom when I was programming for fun in
QBasic while I was in high school (probably just datdd myself by saying that
:D); and I think it's a standard from Code Guide (I forget the exact name).
You can view whitespace characters in any decent text editor and IDEs. In
Notepad++, I forget where it is. WinMerge has that option as well.

Interesting.

I like 2 spaces for indents as well. Looks "right".
