The only meaningful difference between cuffs is barrel vs. French. The number of buttons is totally unimportant.

That's what I have on my latest BDs (the shirtmaker did that on their RTW BDs, and it looked go to me, so I went for it), and I rather like it. I leave the button nearer the hand nearly always undone though. Having said that, I think the most charming cuff for BD is the BB one, where the button is near the top of the cuff (i.e. by the sleeve), so the cuff can be rolled up. It's not the rollability that makes it interesting, but the fact that it looks quite relaxed.

I like that too. Mercer does that. Also a hallmark of Italian shirts (saw it Merrola, Battistoni, Finolo, etc.)

Not referring to an adjustable cuff.
I don't see why collar choice should dictate one or two button cuffs. Prevalence/common applications aside, neither is more correct than the other.
