I have been using Windows in different forms since back in 1990 and I probably know more about all keyboard shortcuts in Windows than most people do. I too use SPC to activate raised/marked buttons but also RET sometimes. I would say that if I had to choose which of SPC and RET (or ENTER if you want, although those are different keys in Emacs) that would activate a button, RET would be the most probable one. Maybe I have just been using Emacs for too long now...
