Markor has been my go-to for years. Open source, excellent markdown writer/reader and other formats. It supports cloud apps and file encryption but I've never used either of these features so I can't comment on their performance. It does work very well with Syncthing though, which I would choose over the cloud any day. It also respects existing folder structures, rather than forcing your notes into a database or other confined structure.

Standard notes is my go to for quick notes.
Standard notes is free, e2ee, and open source. One is able to purchase extensions. However, there are alternative ones or alternative ways to get the open sourced ones directly for curated awesome lists on GitHub.
Notesnook is now better than Standard Notes in yerms of privacy.
Notesnook is fire

As in title, the word BEST is frequently used incorrectly instead of what is most appropriate for one person's use case. In other words what might be considered best for most is not necessarily fit for everyone or particular individual.
Hm267 Have a look at https://joplinapp.org/ . Should cover all your requirements.
+1 for Joplin. Can be easily selfhosted. Any WEBDAV server would work.
anonymous_homan how's this?
goskm75f definitely has the eye-candy I'm looking for. Self hosting it is pretty... let's call it "mid". No documentation, figured it out on my own in about an hour of work. It seems pretty complicated backend-wise, I don't know if I like that. Gonna stick with Joplin for now I guess.
