1.618 spaces is golden.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Spaces rule and tabs drool.
2 spaces to be exact.

2 spaces in all environments, like even C#?

I like a half inch per indent level, so it depends on font (I prefer 8-point Andale Mono), screen size/resolution etc.

I gotcha... similar principle then... as far as wanting visual consistency.

The perfect width for a tab or spaces is... 42 
I use 4, always have, always will. If any of my devs use more or less or convert to spaces they are publicly humiliated and forced to wear mittens to code for the next week until they learn that 4 is THE magic number when it comes to tabs and tabs are as close to perfection as code spacing and indents can possibly get.

Come on man... give spaces a try. Peddling this like a drug dealer. Only the first space is free. 
Not to open up that can of worms, but I was a hardcore tabs guy for years. But spaces are universal. Once I got used to spaces, I could see my code formatted well in any IDE. I could upload it to the web server, output or inspect it in the terminal on Unix/Linux or command line or Notepad in Winders and it still was formatted well. Basically, it made life more portable. I never went back.

Chuck Norris uses Tabs. So should you.

Chuck Norris is NOT celebrated for his programming abilities.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Meh! Chick Norris thinks in binary and writes in assembler. Everything he does is code.

I go along with whatever the IDE inserts for me when I hit TAB. What I hate is when VS separates the start (<) and end (>) of generic parameters onto separate lines. I don't have a problem with method call chains or method parameters spanning multiple lines, but those generic parameters belong onto the same darn line!
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

I do the same thing, mostly to be consistent with my team. But...
if(i.haveUltimateSaySo) {
i.useTwoSpacesInsteadOfTabs();
i.putCurlyBraceAtEndOfIfLine();
i.useCurlyBracesOnEveryLoopOrConditional();
i.useCamelCase();
}

Been through the same journey as you. I like best 3 columns, but my current work requires 4 columns. Ah well.

2 columns and use tabs all applications, including TSQL.
ctrl e d will reformat the current file in c#.
Red-Gate has an excellent formatter for stored procs.

That's the biggest thing... everyone being on the same page. I'll never get you two column folks.  But I do think the project will suffer if the team can't agree on one.

Now with wide displays is not as important, but 2 spaces (using tab) is good as it is not very space consuming but at the same time is clear enough to see the desired effect.
And of course this doesn't allow any debate. I'm right. Anyone thinking a different thing must be burnt in fire.

That's a good point Joan. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before.
