Which dress do you like BEST or THE MOST?

I think one of the options is more formal than the other. Which one?
Do they have the same meaning in that context?

Can I say "Which dress do you like MOST"? (without the article??).

Which of the three is the most frequently heard??

Thanks

Are you asking us which sentence we like the best? (How about that option too? ;)

No difference in formality at all.
