It is not so much specific drawing styles linked to certain types of comics. It's not really a one on one relationship.
Let's say that a highly stylised/simplified style like Bunny & Fat Cat, or Garfield, of the Far Side, would not really work for epic/heroic fantasy or more graphic novel style, with long story lines.
And on the other hand the style of Inverloch doesn't lend itself very well for hard humour (some little soft joke,
maybe).
But for instance the mangaistic style of applegeeks lends itself easily for humour as well as more serious adventure type stories.
Drawing style conveys part of the atmosphere and determines, for me at least, in which state of mind I approach the comic or graphic novel.
You picked out the third criterion (maybe because its the longuest), in fact the order in which I give them, is very much the order of importance I accord them, except that "expressive" should maybe come third or be absorbed in the first two.
