Answer 1

You should use the more verbose style if putting it all in one line would make it too long or complicated.

You should also use a separate variable if the variable's name would make it easier to understand the code:

bool mustWait = someCommand.ConflictsWith(otherCommand);
if (mustWait) {
    ...
}

In such cases, you should consider using an enum for additional readability.
