I would expect clang-format to be overall better than astyle, but
somebody would need to reformat Squid using a reasonable clang
configuration, share the diff, and honestly analyze specific advantages
and disadvantages of using clang before an informed decision can be made.

BTW, astyle configuration can also be stored in the repository AFAICT:
