The `' form of quoting is definitely out of style. But these days, it is
debatable whether ASCII '' or Unicode ‘’ is better as the default; since
it is still not guaranteed that everyone is using a UTF-8 console.
Coreutils uses '', if that helps the decision any, but I'm fine with
whatever you think looks best.
