As \s is shorthand for the POSIX character class [:space:], I'd say the latter
should be more portable: anything accepting the shorthand should also accept
the full character class. If not, you probably only care about horizontal tab
and space, for which you could just use a simple regular expression. Just a
literal space and tab character between square brackets is probably going to be
most portable, though not most readable.
