Personal observation:

I don't like using "#define USE_INTERRUPTS 1" in conjunction with "#if defined(USE_INTERRUPTS)".  Someone not too careful will change it to "#define USE_INTERRUPTS 0" and not understand why it is still being used.

I either use "#define USE_INTERRUPTS" (I know it is defined to be 1) or "#define USE_INTERRUPTS 1" (or 0) in conjunction with "#if USE_INTERRUPTS".  I use the second idiom in my own code, it also protects against typos such as "#if defined(USE_INTERUPTS)"
