只要...就 is "sufficient condition", not the only condition, 只有... 才 is "essential condition", the only condition. For example:

只有老板才能签这个合同。

Zhǐyǒu lǎobǎn cái néng qiān zhège hétong.

法律规定,只有年满21岁,才能喝酒。

Fǎlǜ guīdìng, zhǐyǒu niánmǎn èrshíyī suì cái néng hējiǔ.

把手举起来 is kind of a "command", maybe policeman often use it.

请举手 is courteous and commonly used.

For example, teacher usually ask 谁有问题,请举手。shéi yǒu wèntí, qǐng jǔshǒu.

We can say:
