I agree with Rafael, both are fine. You should not select between vim
and emacs based on just this criterion.
Since I have selected vim already, I did some tuning on

If you have a code base with such a large rate of change as the Linux
kernel, you don't want to see patches that only modify spaces. It's

Hi;
I have just been reading Documentation/Coding Style for the 2.6 kernel.
