And you've got at least a few single-quotes in your comment through language use of contractions. In code, I prefer whichever style tends to produce the fewest escape-sequence situations. If the code contains hard-coded strings, that's usually double-quotes, though not always. Otherwise I guess it makes less sense to want to push +shift+ everytime you enter a quote on a Python dict key, for example, versus using the single quote.
