Here are 4 render comparisons of a short classic clip of mine. You can see the differences.
1. Traditional
2. PBR
3. Toon-Shaded
4. Iray



I make my dreams into movies.

Well, the lighting isn't very good in any of them, but I assume for the purposes of your own style (which is to say you want the lighting to be flat) then toon shading will always end up best.

But the comparison doesn't make a whole lot of sense for most people's workflows (there aren't many folks doing such flat toon-style lighting).
