A consistent style is important in a code base. Inconsistency greatly increases the number of inconsequential decisions developers must make. Consistency is good for readability and a clean code base promotes keeping a code base clean. It is more important, and ultimately will make you happier, to abide by a defined style and end up in a consistent code base, than to code in your own preferred style and not.
