Very stylized (cartoon, super exaggerated features, etc)
Somewhat stylized (good understanding of anatomy, form, etc but executed in a somewhat exaggerated way)
Semi-Realistic (Could be realism, but has stylized features)
Realism (completely believable, even though it may be fantasy themes, etc)

For me, it depends on how the stylized art is executed.
If its too wonky like Disney's Pluto the dog, then I am personally not very fond of such a style, but you take it a tiny step further to say
Disney's Bambi, and my eyes are all over it because I think almost every scene, even character design is so beautiful.
Other examples of stylized art I like would be Clover Studio's/Capcom's Okami, Adventure Time, and Tattoo art type stylism. <3 For example.

I ofcourse love realism and hyper realism as art too. I aim for realism in most of my own art.
But I cannot say I actually prefer either or.
