Breeders, the good ones are showing dogs in conformation, spend a lot of time protecting coat. I have often used a slip collar like white pine outfitters sells in order to reduce the coat friction around my poodle's neck. I recently bought a roll collar (closes with a buckle) that is also supposed to reduced the wear and tear on the coat. At home a lot of poodle people, especially show people, do not use a collar at all. Microchip your dog!
Martingales are often used in training. "Choke" collars are often used when running around a conformation ring because it has least impact on the hairstyle.
For a poodle kept in a very short clip a flat buckle collar is perfectly fine. However many people like some fluff around the neck and then buckle collars become a coat issue.
