Comment (by diatchki):

 I'd also vote for formatting that fits in 80 characters. I typically work
 with two editors open next to each other: usually one for editing code,
 and one for browsing code, and it is really nice not to have to constantly
 scroll or switch between windows.

 I follow the 80 character limit on all projects I work with, and I find
 that it is not very hard to format code to fit in the window, even when
 there are long name.  To do that I either use more but shorter lines, or I
 name large sub-expressions.  I think both of those contribute to the
 readability of the code.  Of course, that's quite subjective.
