I don't mind either way--but for my own work I prefer the convention of caps. Actually, most of the younger formalists do, oddly enough... If you're going to be formal, why be "neo" about it? (such is my logic, anyway.) Older folks as diverse as John Ashbery and Richard Wilbur also keep with the tradition. But I think most people now are used to seeing the "miniscules", and get a bit flustered at the sight of caps. Generally, you raise fewer eyebrows by going with prose rules of caps.
