I never use the 3. / .1 style, because I think it is much uglier than using an explicit zero, and it is easier to miss the dot with small fonts and bad eyes... That, and the fact I am French, so we use a comma as decimal separator, and a 3, / ,1 would be even uglier! Perhaps that's why that style doesn't look natural for me... :-)
Anyway, it is the same kind of debate that tabs vs. spaces, placement of opening brace, braces vs. do / end, and so on... Only personal taste, globally.
