Spaghetti with everything feels wrong. The form factor is simply bad. It's not like a garden hose, where you need it to be that long.
It's not my least favorite, but it's a bit down the list. Penne is probably the best general purpose shape, at least according to these guys: https://www.realsimple.com/we-asked-chefs-which-pasta-shape-works-best-in-any-dish-11849324
I'm a fan of rotelle and fiori as well.
I prefer Vesuvio and Cavatappi
Both fine choices, they are on my upper end for me as well.
Just break it up before you cook it.
I do, when I cook it :) still prefer more complicated geometry
Nah it's noodles, chopsticks just feel right with it.
