Indentation of "public" and "private" visibility modifiers

If you want to follow a Style Guide, I suggest the Google C++ Style Guide:

Sections in public, protected and private order, each indented one space.

"Religious" question :-) You will get many different answers I think.

I say:
Which ever you like as long as you are consistent.

Visual Studio does this:

class Foo()
{
private:

    void Bar1() {}

public:

    void Bar2() {}
}

But I hate it. Many people use it though. If only C++ supported field/method specific visibility modifiers like most languages out there.

I personally like to use this:

class Foo()
{
    private:

        void Bar1() {}

    public:

        void Bar2() {}
}

VS usually keeps reverting it to its indentation scheme, so I often just submit.
