I follow (and teach) the weirich method:

   http://onestepback.org/index.cgi/Tech/Ruby/BraceVsDoEnd.rdoc

{} for block values I care about (think map), do/end for regular block  
sends (think each).

I use {} for blocks that return values (think #map) and do/end for all  
other blocks (think #each).
