Arts card have a 0% modifier to star generation, whereas Buster have a 0% modifier to np generation. This means that arts generate stars only with a lead Q, and Buster generates NP only with a lead A, and even then they won't make use of their card effects boosts (since card mod gets zeroed by their card value in the formula).

In other words, if no boosts to card effects are in play, then higher hitcount is generally better for np and stargen, otherwise things can get a bit trickier to figure out which chain works best.
