Is the Sierpinski triangle composed of equilateral or isosceles triangles? I've seen references for both but I have a student asking which one it is... any help is here greatly appreciated.

Isosceles example: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5524998&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fiel5%2F5492939%2F5524731%2F05524998.pdf%3Farnumber%3D5524998

Thanks in advance!
 
Visual comfort and readability would correlate with isosceles. Bilateral symmetry is important. Equilateral also would work well.
