'Use whatever you want' doesn't help maintainability, style guides exist for a reason... you want code to look the same regardless of who wrote it in the team. There might be the odd occasion where taking advantage of the choice of delimiter is helpful, but in general (my view is) people should consistently use double quotes. I also use/want 4 spaces for the indentation, 2 lines between templates etc, Another example is declaring all the namespaces on the root element - you could declare them where you like, but the general rule is on the root element. That way the poor sod (me) maintaining the code will find them where they expect to find them. By the way, if anyone has their own rules for laying out their code I'd like to hear them.
