I found both of the C code examples equally readable, but personally use neither one when I code in C. I don't (usually) stack closing braces in C mostly so that I don't accidentally kill a line with a closing brace on it. That sort of thing can theoretically happen in Lisp, but is usually easier to spot and easier to fix.
I do, however, in C put the opening brace on the same line as the definition, generally to make grep more productive. I've found it nice to be able to grep for { (or even "){" and get some useful information.
