I find 3 spaces much more readable.

But why have an indentation after BEGIN? There is no new block to start after BEGIN. I would indent like this:

begin
if foo then
   begin
   bar := foo;
   foo := not foo;
   end;
if bar then
   begin
   foo := bar;
   bar := not bar;
   end;
end.

You immediately see that there are two IF statements within the program block. If you indent after BEGIN too, then this is not so obvious (to me). 

Ok, in the end it may be all a matter of what you are used to.

Agree.
