I’ve always used hyphens because if I later need to look at or parse the source, it may be difficult to tell what my intentions were. Moreso if for whatever reason I need to code something to handle my files—an unlikely case, but the small effort over time will be instantly realized.

I'm sorry my post was a bit unclear. My question is, do you use space+hyphen or tab+hyphen for indentation?

Oh I see! I am a tab kind of person, so I do tabs.
