Instead, show the page and use a canonical link tag to tell search engines where the true version of that document is. That will carry over any seo credits and search engines will eventually update their index, too. If you don’t want to use too many 301s to redirect, you could also not redirect.

The thing is that the underscores do get lost when the URL is underlined. They look like spaces to me. In my example above, I think that it's pretty clear. Mark, thanks for pointing that out.

Google recognizes underscores as a word break in paths. Check <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/014260.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> URL out. I also think that from a usability point of view that underscores are much easier for a user to read then hyphens. Also the hyphen has already history in being a character to replace spaces on systems that do not handle spaces. Your article is a little out of date.
