I've shaven my lips bare since I was about 19 years old when my long-time boyfriend (turned ex husband) and I talked about it and he said he preferred it all shaven clean with a little "landing strip" on top. Anyways, I've actually (strangely) had this conversation with many friends, guys and girls, and no it wasn't always me bringing it up. Lol. And the consensus was that you are right, most men prefer no hair on the lips (or anywhere) and just a landing strip on top, if anything. And that the strip is about half an inch wide and about an inch or more long with the hairs trimmed (to like 1/4 of an inch). Yeah, I know, I got detailed explinations. Lol. Some like it completely bare. And yes, some men like hairy. Everyone is different. I prefer the strip personally.

As far as "more hygienic" goes, I think that was mostly back in the day when people didn't shower every day and some women believed that cleaning the outside or inner lips of your muffin was bad and it should self clean. Yikes! I personally stay on top of my muffin health (like not eat 10 tomatoes in one day, no douching, properly wash it, shave it, go for yearly check ups, take probiotics, eat lots of fruit) and since I was 19 and went bare, I've only had one YI and that was caused by some powerful antibiotics I was given for bronchitis.
