Both styles need to be employed. Though the first style looks great and is easy to edit when only a few lines of code are involved, many (or at least I) find the code slightly hard to read when there isn't enough of a border between it and other text.
Current code snippets are already contained in a box with a different background color, and the only real difference is that you added a header to it. (invitiation for criticism
)

If not completely removed template:Code needs to be fixed. Eugh! Look at that thing! Blue on grey! I was actually waiting for some style to develop before fixing the template. Hopefully we can establish a solution in this thread.
Suggestion: Since the majority prefers wiki's built-in style (maybe due to familiarity), could you change the template to look like the built-in style, but with header?
Still, if you want you can advertise some alternative templates, maybe you'll be lucky and we like it

Both styles need to use templates. Is has already been noted that setting a certain style now would provide a lot of tedious work if a different style was desired in the future. Templates, however, would allow editing a single page (ATM template:Code) to change the style for the entire wiki. Templates also allow for other neat features.
If you provide a template:Snippet, i'm fine with it. I dont suppose chase wants to change the builtin wiki styles manually...
