I think it's mostly "what you grabbed when you first plumbed it"

I've got the big T-plug fittings.

Yeah, I always had "automotive" plugs at home because that's what I had. I
just remember reading a debate somewhere and there was finally a
consensus...I just don't remember what it was.

I used to use the "industrial" style, but then I threw them all out and
replaced them with the Milton high-flow "V" style.
The V female fittings are compatible with the common automotive style male
fittings, so I have a few of those on
my lesser-used tools.

The Milton V fittings are very reliable and leak-free, especially compared
to the common cheapo automotive and industrial fittings.

FWIW, industrial seems to be the de facto 'standard.' I just checked, and Harbor Freight no longer carries the automotive styl (if that matters). 

On another note, the cheap (HF) automotive connectors I have seem to leak; do the industrial or non-HF ones hold air?

Oops, I got "automotive" and "industrial" mixed up!  Let me correct myself:

I used to use the "automotive" style, but then I threw them all out and
replaced them with the Milton high-flow "V" style.
The V female fittings are compatible with the common industrial style male
fittings (the pointy-er style), so I have a few of those on
my lesser-used tools.

I plumbed my garage with M style. Mike Bailey, who retired last year and 
moved to Oregon plumbed Bailey's Automotive with I type. On those 
occasions when I worked there I had a hose with male I and female M with 
me if I wanted to use one of my tools in his air lines.

I'm pretty sure I have told this before, but I'll once again incriminate 
myself.

Back in the days of homebrewing, some quick connect brass garden hose 
fittings came
on the market. Just like the air line fittings, I got a bunch for the 
brew room, thinking it
will make hooking up the bottle washer, the chiller and the spray nozzle 
easy as can be.

Well, not quite like the air line fittings, which can be disconnected 
while under pressure.
