You can do both. But standing is more a fullbody workout. Sitting down basically introduces stabilization so less overall muscle is used. So you "isolate" the movement more to the upper body. With standing it really takes a lot of muscular control from the whole body to stabilize that weight overhead. You can ultimately lift more weight that way. But seated can help improve the press as greatly well.
You mentioned dumbells. It is definitely a good idea to switch to or use dumbells as often as possible with any movement you normally use a straight bar for. So keep that up as dumbells are generally going to be healthier for the shoulders. If you want to use dumbells for standing or seated presses don't hesitate to do that if your shoulders are healthy and stable.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
