I'm more a fan of lining up opening and closing brackets so they are at

by omitting a bracket, brace or other in the wrong place. A few extra
line breaks in the code are not going to make a noticeable impact on the
file size of the script!
It's fairly easy to check for missing } with my method as well
statementA {
statementa1
statementa2
statementa3
statementB {
statementb1
statementb2
}
You can see the missing bracket for statementA by seeing that statementB
doesn't have one above it.
I also generally create my } as soon as I create the { so I can comment
the } identifying what it closes.
I don't always comment it, but when I don't there are times I did when
trying to track down a logic issue in nested loops.
But - how to indent - if it's your project, whatever floats your boat,
if it's a group project, you conform to the group specification for
indenting (almost nothing is worse than several different indentation
methods in a source file edited by multiple people - especially mixing
real tabs and spaces, unix line breaks and dos line breaks.)
