I marginally prefer the latter, as it requires fewer lines, so one can
see more of the code on a single screen.
However the former is a bit easier to navigate visually; and it's
easier to temporarily change conditions. e.g.
if (condition)
{
code
}
can be easily changed to force the condition by commenting it (most
IDEs have a line comment toggle).
I used that only recently in some debugging I was doing.
But it's not a reason to change.

However, that does not automatically ensure that the reformatting
preserves comments in a readable format.
I suggest you attach some sample before and after files to the JIRA.
