I think there's a perfect length that can be good for both, but agree that its a very small window and can be tough to achieve. The tailor nailed it with the first shirt, but the rest were a disaster.
The reason that the penguin shirt posted looks good untucked is because the hem is more horizontal and straight when compared to a standard "dress shirt" meant to be tucked in. This is how the test shirt was done and how I had hope the others would turn out. I think if a shirt with said hem hits about 3/4 of the way down your fly, or about 5 inches from the top of the pants it can look untucked and work tucked as well.
Oh well, live and learn I guess. I'm going to slim them to make them look cleaner and more proportionate and just wear them untucked I guess.
