My vote is on StudlyCaps for class method and attribute names. This is the standard in many OO languages (SmallTalk, C#, Java - as a parenthetical I don't think that SmallTalks adoption of StudlyCaps (one of the first I'm aware of) had anything to do with _ rendering), and while we do not need to mimic other languages, adopting common conventions is a good thing.
On the other hand, there are Common Lisp (foo-bar-baz), Python (mostly foobarbaz) and Ruby (mostly foo_bar_baz).

To be pedantic, the Python style guide (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html) specifies class names to be StudlyCaps and method names to be either underscore-delimited or StudlyCaps, at the authors leisure. Of course, PHP is not Python. George
