It's all a matter of personal preference of course, but I don't like
resizing my windows depending on what files I am reading. Given that
CodingStyle calls for 80 columns I prefer to keep my windows at 80
columns (just as I try to stick to the glibc style when I write glibc
code, as much as I dislike it).

Cheers,
Jes
