It's an age-old argument, but I'll throw my vote on the NO TABS side.

The basic problem is that tabs are invisible, so it's all too easy for
source to end up with a mix of tabs and spaces.  Which looks fine until
you move to another system with a different tabs setting.

I've even encountered a printer that just discarded them, so all the
source ended up against the left margin.

This doesn't mean I don't use the [Tab] key....but all my editors know
to uses spaces.
