If you are using a monospaced typeface (e.g., Courier), you should use 2 spaces. If you are using a proportional typeface (e.g. Times New Roman, pretty much anything except Courier), you should use 1 space. I know APA currently uses 2, but my personal bias is 1 space. When I send a manuscript to a journal for consideration I make sure I have 2 spaces, but internally I’m protesting doing that to Times New Roman.

All touch typing courses taught us to use two. My thumbs will never be able to unlearn that double space after a sentence though.
