select vs select_tag vs collection_select
Love the simple, rules-of-thumb write-up on which to use, when. "Use select when you require a basic drop-down selection box populated
with data not sourced from a database." "Use select_tag when you require a drop-down selection box populated
with data not sourced from a database, and are happy to hard code the
default selected option tag." "Use collection_select when you require a drop-down selection box,
whose source is a model/object." http://shiningthrough.co.uk/Select-helper-methods-in-Ruby-on-Rails
