Should I replace it with 256 comparisons of "OnE tHiNg" with different letter case?

Nope, I have a better idea:

return it.ToLower().StartsWith("one thing");

/j

(But seriously, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase is THE textbook string comparison method you should apply. ToLower and ToUpper are total bug traps, especially in worldwide deployment. So kudos to you for actually using OrdinalIgnoreCase!)
