I dunno; the numbers tells me there is no strong preference by wide margin either way.

I am not sure if the end shape does not really need an exit condition. If there is a need for one, "for (; condition;)" would look strange. If there isn't, "for (;;)" is actually my personal preference over "while (1)".
