Posting this in case it saves someone else a little time.
I'm helping a small team set up a local workflow. We don't need a giant stack, but we do care about VRAM headroom.
Simple and boring is a valid answer.
My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.
The part that surprised me was how much the boring details mattered more than the model choice.
