I switch to 2 spaces if it's a long essay. However, in school growing up, I was always taught with 2 spaces, but I've seen both single and double. Never triple though.

Since HTML, LaTeX and programming languages don't care, one.
I mean, I would do one anyway, because it doesn't make sense to use two unless you're back in the 1930s.

I've always used one space and have never been told otherwise, and aside from the article above, I think this quote from the Wikipedia page sums it up nicely:
Wikipedia Wrote:"On a typewriter, use two. On a computer, use one."

Maybe it's a Michigan thing. I generally use two. Definitely in papers.
