Tabs or spaces ??

Tabs as spaces

fpbp.


Also, 2, 4 or 8 spaces?

tabs

a single logical indent unit, displayable at any width you want to fit your screen and taste

using spaces is an anti-design as not everyone wants the same indent width, and you're using a group of multiple characters to denote what is essentially only 1 logical thing

dinosaurs who complain tabs mess up alignment are making ascii art, not code

Besides, I often align blocks of code to each other (like chopping down long methods with many parameters), and using tabs for it does not mess it up. I don't know what some fuckhead complaining about alignment is even trying to do.

tabs and spaces

Yes.

Tabs to indent, spaces to align.
