I prefer the double quotes, as it is intuitive and clear. You, too, deserve, code even a newbie can read correctly at a glance.
Even though you do not need it on constants, it dispells any idea that the constant is a variable, and the parity between the constant and variable is enhanced by the common "".
But all this applies only to the test command variety (single brackets), and not to the compound command (double brackets) which should function perfectly fine without the x's. Compare:
Code:
$ ip=
$ if [ $ip = 127.0.0.1 ]; then echo hallo; fi
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
$ if [[ $ip = 127.0.0.1 ]]; then echo hallo; fi
$
So IMO the x's in the OP's example are superfluous and can be left out.
