One of my managers and I have differing opinions on this topic. I'm a single
space, he'd a double space. When I'm working on something he worked on, I
have to struggle with the desire to get rid of the extra space.

What is the preferred way of typing today, to put one or two spaces

Preferred by whom?
This is the subject of one of those never-ending wars, akin to PC-vs.-Mac.
Neither side will give in soon.
One side maintains that one space is "correct" or at least sufficient when
writing in proportional fonts, and that the two-spaces practice is a
holdover from the fixed-pitch typewriter era. The other side maintains
that two spaces look better and improve readability even in proportional
fonts.
Word takes a more hands-off approach. You can set either preference in the
Spelling & Grammar options dialog, but an infraction will only be marked,
not automatically changed.
