This is really a detailed formatting question, but I stumble over it every time...

For multiline condition expressions what placement of the logical operators is preferred?

---

Alternative 1: logical operators at the end of each line

if (value1 == comparision1 &&
    value2 != comparision2 &&
    !comparision3.Contains(value3))
{
    // stuff
}

Pro: lines are beautifully aligned

Con: logical operators are missed easily

---

Alternative 2: logical operators at the beginning of each line

if (value1 == comparision1
    && value2 != comparision2
    && !comparision3.Contains(value3))
{
    // stuff
}

Pro: logical operators are strongly present

Con: alignment looks weird

What do you prefer? What formatting did helped you in the past? What formatting did confused you in the past?
