FWIW, I much prefer" =A" of those two,  as it seems the least ambiguous 
when viewed with a proportional font.

Whitespace does tend to take up very varying amounts of space when using 
a proportional font, and the difference between "A=" and "A =" can 
sometimes be, to all intents and purposes, invisible. Since "=A" will 
often be the first identifier in a statement, and will always be 
followed by whitespace and an expression, it will not lead to ambiguity 
nearly as often as "A=" could.
