Slightly tipped down in front is what works for me. I would guess the front of my saddle is maybe 1-2 centimeters lower than the back. It's not much, but it works great. I have a Bontrager WSD saddle. No cut-out, just a soft spot in the middle of the saddle for the soft tissues......... It's been comfortable from the first time I sat on it.

The saddle issue is an important one. Keep trying till you find what works the best.

Oh- one more item. The tilt of your saddle will somewhat depend on what kind of bike you are riding. My down-in-front saddle is on my road bike. My MTB saddle is level. IF I had a hybrid, I would guess that it might be level or even tipped up a bit in front.

And yet one more item - Saddles don't just move up and down and tilt, they also move for and aft. Sometimes a slight adjustment in that direction is needed, too.
