+1 on code formatting. It definitely takes care of a class of issues in practice. While I do have my own preferences, I think it's better to simply have something that can apply on save/paste and that can be the end of it. Changes to the code formatter/version and even swapping out a formatter can be relatively easy and still completely consistent.

I will state that I will prefer a formatter than can apply from a command line as well as integrated plugin. I don't like formatters that rely on an IDE only plugin, I've seen this with VS in particular.
