So…which is the best art generator I can download and run locally today?

Or are there a few top ones specific to art style(photorealistic, scenery, pixel art, vectors, etc)?

The most effective practical local workflow is SD1.5 or SDXL (fine-tune/LORA + ControlNet) to Flux.dev img2img or inpainting.

Flux.dev is best in class for direction following oneshots, but it's still relatively glacial for volume, even with FP8. I haven't tried Schnell.

I'm using flux in comfy, so I expect performance will improve in another webui.

Flux by Black Forest Labs, by far.
Flux is the best base model and you grab small fine tune Loras for specific styles
