Should we use encoding for HtmlString?

What's better in ASP.NET MVC

<%= Html.LabelForModel() %>

or

<%: Html.LabelForModel() %>

? Why?

If it returns MvcHtmlString it won't matter; the <%: will know it is pre-escaped. I would therefore use <%: as then the reviewer doesn't need to think "is this escaped? or is this a raw field?".

Of course, that does depend on the code that creates the MvcHtmlString being sane...

Neither is "better". They both output the same exact markup.
