Mar 18, 2011 at 18:43 comment added Michel Ah, I did not know about the difference between \mid and \middle. I will revise my answer later this evening, explaining a bit more about delimiter sizing and stuff like that. Thanks for the additional info.
Mar 18, 2011 at 18:19 comment added Michael Ummels I second that. Also, if you use \left\{ and \right\}, it makes sense to use \middle| instead of \mid, so that the vertical bar has the same size as the curly braces (note that \mid is not scalable).
Mar 18, 2011 at 15:50 comment added daleif I'd like to add that in general \left...\right with in inline mathematics, should be used with extreme care, because they can easily become too large, and thus alter the line space
