US: At home 100% sit; out and about, 100% stand.
If it's not my home toilet, I'm not even going to sit to shit. Lift the seat, put down a layer of protective toilet paper to prevent splash landings, aim, and squat. If they have very clean toilets, like someone's home, I'll make an exception, or a clean public restroom that stocks seat liners, I may use them.
TBH, that's a method of last resort though. If I can wait until I get home, I do. Nice, clean, comfy, got a fancy TOTO bidet; just a better experience.
I've shit one singular time in a "public" toilet in the past 25 years besides workplace bathrooms, and Porta potties while camping. Workplace or Porta potties both have hand sanitizer which I take copious amounts of on my way in, drip off my hands onto the seat and wipe it down with TP. Rub the rest of the sanitizer on my hands, and eviscerate myself with the equivalent power of 10 men's shits in 30 seconds.
