I have to say that it pretty much doesn't matter anymore. In the last ~4 years I've only sent out PDF copies of my Resume to Recruiters. A couple of have turned around and asked for it in DOC/DOCX, but a whole bunch more have just copy/pasted it into their own template and sent that to the employer. I've turned up to interviews and offered the interviewers copies of my resume, and they wave something with the recruiters's logo all over it and not looking at all like what I sent in.

Exactly this. As someone on the hiring side, most Resumes that come my way are identical layout for every candidate a recruiter sends. As soon as I'm talking to a candidate 1-on-1 (without the recruiter proxying) I ask them to provided me an original copy of their Resume, because the recruiter may have left out important details (thinking them irrelevant, as recruiters typically aren't tech-savvy) when copy+pasting into their template.
