Well said Leo. I prefer consistent, more readable code as well even if it is verbose.

My personal "good reason" to use option 4 over option 3, with or without a prior <cfobject> calls (as required by context), is that despite its verbosity, option 4 clearly distinguishes between attributes of the <cfinvoke> tag and arguments of the method being invoked, while option 3 munges all this together in a single tag. To my mind, distinct arguments increase readability, as does consistent use of either the tag-based or <cfscript> coding idioms (not both) within any given compilation unit (template or component). As a bonus, DWMX auto-generates option 4 styled code from a Components panel method drag'n'drop, so the additional verbosity doesn't cost me any time.
