I prefer this: if(foo()) bar(); No {} necessary if it's just a single command.

  I prefer to always use {} for readability and consistency's sake, regardless of line count. Also reduces human error.

    Me too. But if the goal was to shorten "if(foo()) { bar(); }, then I could just leave the {} braces out instead of making it "foo() && bar()".

  Yes, I admit that I added the curly braces unnecessarily. However, jsLint will throw a fit if you omit them, so there's an argument to be made that always putting your conditionals in curly braces is a best practice. Certainly, both styles are common in JavaScript, and they'll come out of the minifier the same way in the end.
