Which Photoshop method is best?

Super Resolution and Super Zoom usually give more detail than plain Image Size for big enlargements.

Do Neural Filters need the internet?

Some filters download in the cloud the first time you use them.

Is the free tool as good?

For most photos it is a fast alternative; Photoshop gives more manual control.
