It depends very much on the context - on the precedence and relative importance of one operator with respect to other operators and the statement as a whole. In general I prefer spaces around binary operators, but there are situations where not putting spaces around some operators can enhance the readability of the statement as a whole. If checkpatch.pl starts whinging about operators without spaces that will just be yet another reason not to use it IMHO. Also, I prefer the style where the ? and : operators have a space after them but not before them, rather than a space either side.
