Whichever one you arbitrarily define as "correct".

Since "kilo" is an SI unit defined as 10^3, I guess that has historical 
precedent. (I mean, without SI, would we even call it "kilobytes" in the 
first place?)

IIRC, somebody somewhere wanted to start calling it KiB or something 
stupid for when you actually mean 2^10...
