The only consistent method is to not wrap text at an arbitrary limit. Everyone can follow this and it is very clear. Readability may or may not be compromised. Dictating an arbitrary line width is exactly that: an arbitrary standard. If it works for you and your team, great, but ultimately it is a totally arbitrary choice.
Also, I believe that text editors are generally catching up in this regard and doing a good job of intelligently indenting code that wraps over multiple lines. This means you can choose an editor width that suits your needs rather than having it dictated by someone's arbitrary choice.
