My only comment on the "shi" is that for people searching for "City" related websites and services you get a more targeted search.
I have been told that for
writing a city name the shi is often used. But for speaking you need use only the city name without adding "city" to end (for most cities, a few appharently have city in the title).
So...I think consensus is that city- no shi is preferable but city with shi has some value for website or city site purposes.
