The latter is clearly preferable (at least in my eyes), since I dislike the idea of zero being false etc. I think it depends largely on the programming background. Mine is based on Assembly language and (Common) LISP. So I have a hard time getting along with boolean expressions on integer results. :) The script example on the other hand is quite readable either way.
