To myself, I've reduced the spaces/tabs cons to the following:

If you use strictly spaces, you must negotiate indentation width for a 
project, you must cope with the chosen indentation width if you don't 
like it, and you'll probably want to switch between different widths if 
you work on many external projects, though nothing bad happens if you 
forget.

If you use strictly tabs, you must never, ever, align things in columns 
except by the means of indentation, and therefore you can have only one 
aligned column.

That's it.  The rest is a matter of personal choice.  There is only one 
con for tabs, and if you consider it minor, then tabs are for you.
