-Tabs should be 8 charactors
and no correspondance shall be entered into.

-Why? Because while 8 charactors
is stupidly wide, at least it's a standard. There is absolutely nothing worse than opening a file and having it look like it was formatted by a two year old chimpanzee on crack.

!But vim/emacs support mode lines so you can see which tab width you use!
Except that
# they don't agree on the syntax, so you need two sets of modelines, one for each application

!But they push my code too far to the right
Then your logic is too complicated, go break it into another function to simplify it.
-The correct answer is to use 8 charactor
tabs. Sure they are wider than they need to be, but they ''work''. Anyone who tries to tell you that tabs should be whatever else they feel like (2? 4? 5? 6?) needs to be shot. Especially if they ever think that their code is going to be viewed by anyone else, so unless you are writing a proprietary program and never planning on giving the code away or ever showing it to anyone, DON'T CHANGE THE TAB SIZE.
