I used to do it your style, but have switched to:
> foo x = x + a + b
> where
> a = 1 + x
> b = 2 * x
because it makes cut&paste easier. instance/class declarations for me
also don't obey this.

same here. or for records, I like:
> data Rec =
> Rec {
> foo :: Int,
> bar,
> bluff :: String
> }

I tend to do something like:
> myfoo :: (Context1, Context2, Context3) =>
> type1 -> -- maybe a description of type1
> type2 ->
> type3 ->
> result type
it takes a lot more vertical space, but you also have easy
haddockability and it makes it a lot easier to remember what all those
parameters are...
