I think that depends on whether you want your stuff to look like some definition of traditional.

The equations in AMS Euler look good to me. [1]

They look terrible, in fact. This is no way to typeset equations. (For example, variables should be set in italics.)

Variables have their own style here. Compare i sin y and the difference between the variable i and the i in sin.
