This is wrong.  For some file types indent-tabs-mode should always be
t (e.g. for ChangeLog and Makefile) and for others it should always be nil
(e.g. for LaTeX and TeXinfo).

How 'bout:

(add-hook 'find-file-hook
  (lambda ()
    (if (and (null indent-tabs-mode)
             (local-variable-p 'indent-tabs-mode) ; Trust the major mode.
             (save-excursion
               (goto-char (point-min))
               ;; If there are at least 10 lines with a leading TAB, use TABs.
               (re-search-forward "^	" (+ (point) 100000) t 10)))
        (set (make-local-variable 'indent-tabs-mode) t))))
