I think either one can be reasonable depending on how important the
comment is, or whether you want more of a visual separation between
separate blocks of code as opposed to an in-line note.

One thing that would be worth checking before you expend too much
manual effort on that is whether pg_indent will convert one style
to the other. Offhand I don't recall that it does, but if it did
then it'd undo your work ...
