Em dash: space or no space between words

On the use of em dashes. Is it better to omit the spaces between the words and the dash, or is it preferable to separate them with spaces instead?

I've seen both used by good writers — but personally I prefer putting spaces. I'm wondering what are the experts opinion regarding the matter.

P.S. And, most of the time, I use three hyphens in place of it (---), which isn't usual, to my knowledge.
