As the title mentioned, I have seen different people using them. Therefore, I am kind of confused. Thanks for putting out my curiosity.

I think "Pretiest" is far and away the better choice.

 Absolutely.

A general rule:  "more/most" are always correct, but usually reserved for multi-syllabic words;  mono-syllabic adjectives and those ending in 'y' usually take "-er/-est".
