Photo-realism with some style: John Buscema (for anatomy), Gene Colan (for mood), Jack Kirby (for backgrounds, machinery and power), Joe Sinnott (for realism, crispness), John Byrne (for people who look like people, not mutated steroidal enhanced freaks), Jim Starlin (for panorama), Steve Ditko (for weirdness)!
Please: no cartoony, no manga, and no Sienkiewicz or Miller !

For me it's all about story telling and dynamic movement...I can get into either type of artwork if it is effective in telling the story...The style can be changed to suit the mood of different types of stories and that is one of the strengths of both Comics and animation. You can use a more realistic tone for a darker feel ala' JB's Blood of the Demon...I don't think a cartooney feel would have been as effective with that tale....
I can think of several Spider-Man tales that could be very effectively told with a lighter more cartooney feel.

I think realism can be further subdivided into proportion and rendering style. For example, I would consider JB to have realistic proportions in his art, but a more hatching type of rendering to define his shapes and shadows. Someone like Epting on Captain America has less of a hatching and more solid shadows in his rendering (which is more "realistic"). For the record, art rendering like JB, Jim Cheung, and Olivier Coipel among others has me studying the rendering style as I read (which can be distracting in a good way) since I try to pick up little tips as I go, as opposed to Epting and the like which I have no desire to emulate despite liking their art, and therefore I perhaps enjoy the story a little more.

Do you feel that either is best served for a "particular" story or type of
character(s)? |

Depends on the subject. Whatever the case, I just hope the artist doesn't go photorealistic.

Whatever fits the story and characters best. Would anyone really want a realistic Peanuts or a cute bobble-headed Y: The Last Man?

I like my comics to look like comics: Byrne, Kirby, Perez, Rude, Buscema, Romita etc.
I do like some artists like Alex Ross, Re: Marvels but I wouldn't want all of my comics to be like that.

Peter Bagge draws Peter Parker: It fits the story and it works:
(not the best of scans) I'm partial to cartoony but I love me some good superhero art ala Perez,Romita,Byrne etc...

DOES... collections are great!

Megalomanical Spider-Man was one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Poor J. Jonah Jameson...
