I prefer saddles that cradle the area around the sit bones. I also like a generous cut out, my favorite saddle has both of these attributes and is the Selle Italia SLR boost.

As far as tilt, I think most bike fitters would probably lose their minds at my set up. I tilt mine forward up to a few degrees(depending on the bike.) I don't see it as an issue as I spend the vast majority of my riding time going uphill, so having the saddle pre-rotated a bit, actually feels completely natural. Humblebrag, but I also ride with enough power, that my legs contribute significantly to keeping pressure off the bars.
