I'd second that. I find it extremely annoying to read stuff like 

if (...)
{
    // ...
}

It's a complete vaste of space and does not enhance the readability of
the code. I frequently use Midnight and FAR + Colorer as the code
editors and their brace matching algorithm perfectly understands either
form.

It's up to you. I'd prefer the first one, because it's too much thinking
if you don't have auto-formatting, but well, you arguments are sensible.
