I don't add the following links because that's where I got my opinion from, it's only in support. I came to my own opinion by reading a lot on the web :-)
In addition, only very few people in this forum use that method for large quotes, so without consulting a style guide, it seems to me most people feel that way.

Either of the former two is better than the latter, and my experience of several years on HN is that leading > is by far most common for quoting, but if abusing monospace formatting is the way you want to do it, then by all means abuse monospace formatting to your heart's content.
