Hi,
I really prefer

if (mybool) {
do_my_stuff();
do_other_stuff);
}

for the rule of least vertical screen usage (same as yours)
and the brace and the if on the same indentation level
make it clear where the conditional block of code stops.
Also for one liners this form saves space

if (mybool) { do_my_stuff(); }

but keep the braces if you or others need to add more code
later.

Just my 2 cents
