It depends.  If you are writing a PIC application for a large company and
you will be sending your source around, then the company itself may have
certain standards.  If you are writing in C and compiling to PIC, then you
should just follow C guidelines, which I'm sure there are scores of.  If
you're writing code for yourself and your own private projects, I wouldn't
think it matters at all.
