I use underscores. 

Some operating systems don't like spaces in file names.

They also can cause problems if you write a script to process a batch of
files.

It is best to avoid any other punctuation marks, too, as they may be
wild cards in various situations. Stick to A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and underscore.

Basically, make it easy for the poor stupid computer.
