I use "quotes" since they are quick to type and easier to see than italic. Is there a specific rule (or should there be a specific rule) about this in order to improve parsing and readability?

It depends on the function. For the literal text, eg a sample sentence, the linguistic convention is using italics. If you're talking about the meaning, eg to paraphrase something, but not referring to the actual words, then you would use quotes.
