I prefer the former, eg.

if (foo)
{
   a();
}
else
{
   b();
}

I don't hate the other style (we call it the Egyptian braces style 
here), but I'd much rather use the style above.  4-space tabs are fine.

Can you describe these?  I'm not sure what you mean.

I really hate Hungarian notation.  I'll cave on everything else to keep 
Hungarian notation out of it.  Just name the variables something logical 
( unlike most of the SI :-/ ), and 99% of the time you'll know the type 
intuitively.  BTW, I don't use IDE's as a rule (vi and the command line 
are fine for me), so I don't see making style choices just to improve 
things like word substitution as much of an argument.  The choices 
should primarily be made to improve readability.
