Tabs or spaces?
Tabs

Arguments for tabs:
tabs let you key through files quicker
they let you adjust the level of visible indenting without changing conceptual indenting
they are easier to count
If you use tabs for indenting and spaces for other kinds of whitespace it makes it easier to write patterns to deal with indenting cases.

I like tabs, they are adjustable and compatible with nearly any progrram.

They are adjustable, spaces are dumb.

Definitely spaces. Some version control systems don't even allow files with tabs to be checked in. Of course if you're \working on the document alone, without any other people, it doesn't really matter. But nowadays everything gets emailed around. So spaces.

I walk out of meetings that degenerate into debates over tabs vs. spaces.

Always display properly, tab people are dumb.
