Neither are better than the other. Also no better than made to measure options. You will definitely get a better fit and a wider range of fabrics - wrinkle-free and Twill based fabrics tend to require little no iron.
As expected, Made to Measure is more of an investment than your Chinese made 3 for $135.
I use [Tailor On The Road](https://tailorontheroad.com.au) for my shirts. The price drops the more you buy in 1 spend.
Neither unless you are really confident you can get a perfect fit (or have your shirts altered.)
I’ve had Charles Tyrwhitt before, and haven’t found the non-iron to be particularly great. But then I’m also particular about my shirts - I like to iron them, and I like them to look ironed. In my experience Non-iron shirts of any brand tend to look like “yes, that’s not a crumpled mess, sure, but still, you could give it an iron…”
The issue and question you have with sizing really puts me off Charles Tyrwhitt. I bought three or four different sizes and found none of them really fit me.
Ended up going to Institchu, and now have a number of shirts that actually fit (in better fabrics than most of Charles Tyrwhitts stuff, too.) I’d recommend that you go down the tailor made route. It is more expensive - but there are always deals.
(The days of Charles Tyrwhitt regularly doing three shirts for $99 are well and truly gone. That was always a good deal… but to be honest at 3 for $135 I think Charles Tyrwhitt are now over priced; I’d rather pay $135 for one shirt at Institchu that actually fits. (Deals mean I usually would pay less than that of course…))
I’d take Charles Tyrwhitt over Van Heusen 100% of the time. Yes the non-iron aren’t perfect, but they are pretty decent.
I don’t mind ironing. Takes 10 mins max to do a sharp job of it. Actually find the task rewarding.
