inconsequential indent level. Makes it impossible to analyze algorithms at a glance. If you are consequent about your indent levels and get a lot of experience writing code like that, you can glance over a piece of text, notice the main keywords and indent levels, and you immediately have a good idea of what the code might be doing.

You make a good argument for choosing one style and sticking to it, but I don't see how it helps you choose between the different styles here.
