If you want a non-iron shirt and are willing to spend up to $100, I don't see any reason not to get the BB ones. They have a wide variety of collar splays, a good variety of fits, and they make a very solid non-iron shirt.

The CT ones are decent, but they are not on the same level as the BB offerings: most notably, the interfacing in the placket tends to rumple and is devilishly difficult to flatten out, even with starch. (At least, that's my experience with the must-irons; maybe the non-irons avoid that.)
 
I bought 8 non-iron BB shirts last year and I've been positively surprised. I still iron them but they are remarkably easier to iron than a normal shirt. I could even get away with not ironing them at all... ironing them is just a personal preference.

Now, what chemicals they are filled with to provide this ease of use, I cannot say...
 
I like Tyrwhitt non-iron shirts. They fit well because they come in extra-slim, slim, and regular cuts. The non-iron feature really works. In the fall the Washington, DC store had a 3 for $100 sale. That was nice. I get their emails and they have constant sales.
 
I bought some TieBar slim fit non-iron shirts (I believe from an advertisement on this site) and they fit very well do not wrinkle. Three for $140.
 
I've queried BB, CT, & T.M. Levin personally and found CT more to my liking for non-iron than others mentioned.
Did you only query them, or did you also actually try on their shirts?

I like BB non-iron shirts. I also like CT shirts, but have only ever tried their must-iron shirts. Have never tried Lewin.
 
Since you mention slim cut - have you tried Spier and Mackay? Far cheaper than $100. I wouldn't mention them given the price you listed, but since you mentioned slim, thought I'd speak up, as they do well proportioned shirts for slimmer men very well. Their fabric, while still lower end in the scheme of things, is still much nicer than the scratchy mall brand stuff.

I've queried, tried on, and purchased all brands mentioned; I recommend CT for non-iron business shirting. Lewin is my go to for a more fitted appearance and BB for weekend/casual.
