Infinite loops

This is really a nitpicking question, but, anyway!
There are several ways of creating infinite loops:
while(1) {
   .
   .
   .
   }

Or
for(;;) {
   .
   .
   .
   }

And others too. My question is the following: is there any reason (other
than personal preferance) why one would prefer to use any particular form?
I personally prefer the while(1) form since it seems to make better reading.
Even better, I sometimes define TRUE to be 1 and then use while(TRUE).
