I go with hyphens + spaces. Tabs can vary in length depending on the editor / viewer, while spaces will not.

EDIT: I’m sorry my original post was a bit unclear. I have updated that, could you pls check again?

In Obsidian, I can easily indent a bullet point with tab and Obsidian uses tab indentation by default, is there a way to change that?

I don't use Obsidian so I can't really tell.
