I prefer tuxedo style shirts that do not have a collar at all (or what appears to be called a banded collar.) However I rarely find those and have only had a few over the years. I also prefer buttoned down collars, but they tend to be on less interesting shirts so I only have a few of them.
I almost purchased those magnetic collar stays that were featured on Shark Tank many years ago because I like the look of a collar that's standing up rather than one that flops around.
As for the tie question, I only wear one when I want to dress formally. I generally reserve that for a fancy dinner or an evening at a fancy event. I used to wear a tie when interviewing, but in the tech industry ties are often seen as negative. I still wear a dress shirt and suit, but just skip the tie. If I've been told they have a causal atmosphere I'll ditch the suit and just wear dress slacks and a dress shirt.
