Sorry, to clarify, not everything is in all caps. I'll append my prefered syntax below

WITH foo AS (
    SELECT id, baz.binid
    FROM
            bar
        JOIN baz
            ON bar.id = baz.barid
)
SELECT bin.name, bin.id AS binid
FROM
        foo
    JOIN bin
        foo.binid = bin.id

The above is some dirt simple SQL, when you get into report construction things get very complicated and it pays off to make sure the simple stuff is expressive.

You indent your JOIN? Why on earth? It lives in the same context as the SELECT.

I've seen both approaches and I think they're both quite reasonable. An indented join is my preference since it makes sub queries more logically indented... but our coding standards allow either approach. We've even got a few people that like

FROM foo
JOIN bar ON foo.id = bar.fooid
JOIN baz ON bar.id = baz.barid

Actually not. It's part of the FROM

That double indented from is hurting me
