I do military presses with the barbell at times, but shoulder pain has made it less appealing. Definitely recommend doing your shoulder presses standing, with either kettle bells, or dumbbells. Much easier on the shoulders by far.

You're right on the stretching and rehab though, I'm terrible at doing that stuff, but I'm going to start more now.
Yeah just classic barbell press. I actually never had pain doing that, and it was always my favourite exercise. It's not what killed my labrum though, that happened during bench press. Just that my shoulder got so fucked, I couldn't do anything.

Now I can press again no problem (well it's a bit wonky due to atrophy). I haven't tried flat BB bench in a long time, but I can incline BB bench no problem.
