"~" is actually the same as the "find_and_preserve" helper which, as you noticed, preserves whitespace within whitespace-sensitive elements. As to your question in particular, it's really a matter of style. If you prefer conciseness, go with "~"; if you'd rather be more explicity, go with "find_and_preserve." Hampton and I both use "~", but it's really up to you.
