	I've encountered at least one editor that has three style options.

	if (condition)
		{
			statement block;
		}

being the third. (I abhor it as it uses two indentation levels per block.
My preference is your #2).

{Actually, VS2017 has something like 6 styles which can be used if it can't
find a file of clang formatting rules -- was going to check CCS9, but it
seems to insist on downloading any updates and then checking all files
before it will open... A significant time waster}
