No, please don't. This breaks the quoting level colors in any mail 
client I tried and makes your posts harder to read.

It is also against the only thing close to a standard regarding quote marks 
in email: RFC 3676.  That RFC defines 'quote-mark' as  and 'quote' as 
1*quote-mark; meaning the only valid quoting is a string of '' characters.  
 is valid and  is valid but TA is invalid as is  .

Yes, there are still a number of clients that implement this RFC but break 
quoting by default.
