In translations which strictly follow English conventions.. there's no real choice there. Otherwise...

If it's weeaboo central, I'll ususally make sure to use the eastern convention to limit the whining. If it's a more mainstream discussion, I'll usually go western to avoid confusion as to what is family name versus given name. All else being equal, though, I'll usually go western style, as that's just the way my mind works. Some names, though, I usually end up using a certain way no matter the forum (ie: Romi Paku, Noto Mamiko), either because they just sound better one way or I'm for whatever reason more used to seeing them that way.
