Since Louisville isn't an option, I'm going to say that Birmingham with its 1910s-1920s commercial architecture is tops among these. Atlanta comes afterward with its fair amount of examples of that style as well as its many craftsman homes. Nashville comes next and definitely would be first if it hadn't demolished so many of its examples of 19th century structures.
Birmingham, Miami, and Atlanta. Like mentioned above, Birmingham because of the 1910s-1920s commercial architecture downtown but mostly because of its diverse housing stock. Having Craftsman, Victorian, Neoclassical, Colonial Revival, and several other styles.
Mobile ,Al has a huge verity of architectural styles that include : Neo Classical , Victorian , Federal , Mission Revival ,Creole Cottages ,Spanish Revival and so many more architectural styles that are seen through out the city Pensacola , Fl deserves a nod as well.
The finest architecture in america is in the cities you left out, but I am not sure sunbelt cities are any different than any other american cities. lets go with the one of the greatest architects in American history and Jefferson and Richmond and Virginia cities. Charlottesville, Richmond, Alexandria and the southerner Washington and Washington DC

Smh man shut up with that "DC is southern" nonsense..
Cities to consider are: (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami) and 2nd tiers ( Nashville, Charlotte, Orlando, Birmingham, Memphis)
Which of these has the best architecture in their core areas? Suburbs?
(Extra note: I've purposely left out cities like Savannah, Charleston, and New Orleans due to an unfair advantage)
Did you leave out Louisville for the same reason? Or do you consider it Midwestern? Outside New Orleans, no city in the southeast can touch Louisville's historic housing stock. It honestly is not even close. Birmingham and Memphis are up there, and on a smaller scale, Savannah and Charleston (more tourism, better weather, less crime= more preservation)
Only New Orleans and Louisville were major nineteenth century cities in the southeast:
Also, this is not counting Louisville's very urban "suburbs" of Clarksville, Jeffersonville, and New Albany IN.
New Albany IN would be one of the strongest urban neighborhoods in any southeast city, and it is not even in the top 5 in Louisville.
