Poll - What do you think is a good short hair cut for a guy?

Do you prefer 'shaved' ' a buzz cut' or 'a crew cut' or something else. All comments / answered appreciatedPoll - What do you think is a good short hair cut for a guy?
A good barber can design a crew cut, and I include an ivy league and flat top crew cut within crew cut, to fully suit most guy's head shape, face and neck shape, frontal hairline and facial features. I am assuming a guy has a reasonable amount of hair coverage on the top his head. His hairline doesn't have to be perfect. It can be receded into a widow peaked pattern to a certain extent and his hair can have thinned to a certain extent. A crew cut allows the barber to readjust the appearance of the skull shape to bring it into harmony with the frontal hairline, face shape, and facial features. This is not possible with a butch cut(buzz cut) which contours perfectly with the skull shape or obviously with a shaved head. Unless the head shape, face shape, frontal hairline and facial features are in perfect harmony, a haircut that perfectly contours the skull shape will not fully complement. If a guys still has dark hair and has not gone bald on top and or gone gray, a shaved head will look like a very short butch within a day or two. It will never look like a naturally bald head since dark stubble will appear within a few hours of shaving. Back in the 1950's through early to mid 1960's, when every other college guy and college prep high school guy wore a short buzzed style, very few wore butch cuts. It was almost exclusively crew cuts, flat top crew cuts and ivy leagues. Butch cuts were home haircuts that boys around twelve and younger received from their dad. Guys back then wore the short pomp styles-crew cut, flat top crew cut, ivy league- not only for convenience but also because these short stylish haircuts can help a guy to look his best. When short hair became somewhat popular again in the mid 1980's, it was the flat top crew cut, and this was the case till the late 1990's. The popularity of amateur butch haircuts is very much a new millennium phenomenon. In the past few years this seems to have died down and the ivy league and crew cut have surged in popularity. Surprisingly, the flat top crew cut which had been the most popular short style from the mid 1980's till around 2,000 has not yet seen a resurgence in popularity. Any well designed short pomp style-crew cut, flat top crew cut, ivy league-is a good short haircut for a guy.
