I prefer tabs to spaces myself.

Yes, but do your tabs indent by two, four or eight spaces?

I once jokingly suggested a compromise of 3 spaces, then got curious. Turns out I like it more than 2 or 4, and now use it for all my personal stuff.

I've seen house programming styles that mandate a tab is 3 spaces, as well as 5. Personally, I have no dog in this fight at all. I'll follow whatever the house style is.

Just enough spaces to reach the next tab stop.

No, no. Set your tab stops to one space. Problem solved.
