I don't like any of them (I've been trying (off and on) and failing to find a good standard for this type of thing for a long time). But I really don't like hiding the operators on the end. And I don't like adding extra parens just to "show precendence" (my eye can't match nested parens nearly as well as it can notice variations in spacing).

So now I try to line things up by precendence with the operator in front. I always put two spaces around logical expressions so I can put single spaces within them. 

    if(   defined $settings  &&  ! $setttings->{hidecode}
     and      $codtype{ $node->{nodetype} }
          or      $node->{code}
              ||  containscode( $node->{doctext} )
    #     ^1  ^2  ^3
    ) {

So the 'arguments' to 'and' line up above "^1", the arguments to 'or' above "^2" and the arguments to '||' above "^3". I think I've finally found a standard for this that I like. (:
