Never use a space for prefixes. You can hyphenate prefixes all the time if you want to. Some words are hard to read without hyphens, particularly when there are two vowels next to each other. In these cases you should always use a prefix.
Examples:
pre-historic or prehistoric
pre-diabetes or prediabetes
pre-existence (preexistance looks strange)
pre-industrial (preindustrial looks strange)
