Yes, and if we did not have this stupid situation where the C language
standard is not freely available online then you would not have had to
ask.</rant>

There is no difference in reliability. Readability is a matter of
opinion - my opinion is that they are equally readable. To its credit,
gcc produces the same ia32 code in either case:
int foo = 999;
return 1 + !!foo;
<main+6>: movl $0x3e7,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
<main+13>: cmpl $0x0,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
<main+17>: je 0x80483e0 <main+32>
<main+19>: mov $0x2,%eax
<main+24>: jmp 0x80483e5 <main+37>
<main+26>: lea 0x0(%esi),%esi
<main+32>: mov $0x1,%eax
<main+37>: mov %eax,%eax
int foo = 999;
return foo? 2: 1;
<main+6>: movl $0x3e7,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
<main+13>: cmpl $0x0,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
<main+17>: je 0x80483e0 <main+32>
<main+19>: mov $0x2,%eax
<main+24>: jmp 0x80483e5 <main+37>
<main+26>: lea 0x0(%esi),%esi
<main+32>: mov $0x1,%eax
<main+37>: mov %eax,%eax
