It depends. For great looking pics that you need to get out quickly MJ does a great job. Especially with its image + text feature. Dalle is also an interesting choice.

SDXL and controlnet is odd a lot of the time. 1.5 + controlnet still seem to give quicker and better results.

Basically SD atleast seems to be for when you want unique content. MJ/Dalle for everything else.

Forgive me for not remembering the name. Stable Diffusion also has an MJ style where you just say what you want and it makes beautiful piutures.

You cant customize basically anything but they look great.

You might be thinking of Fooocus: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus

The Stable Diffusion web interface that got a lot of people's attention originally was Automatic1111: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

Fooocus is definitely more beginner friendly. It does a lot of the prompt engineering for you. Automatic1111 has a ton of plugins, most notably ControlNet which gives you fine grained control over the images, but there is a learning curve.
