This is a matter of personal opinion.

And now for mine: I prefer the 'C'/Pascal form for several reasons, but
only one is important...

	if (expression)
		statement

when statement is *not* a block is much neater than...

	if (expression)
		statement
	endif

Of course the multiple priorities & esthetic decisions that resolve into
the word "neat" are also matter of personal opinion.
