I’m looking to have some of my work printed for a gallery showing. It needs to be 20x16 framed. Are local printers usually best or is there someone online that is affordable and good? Thanks in advance for any advice!!

What kind of process/substrate are you thinking about? Lambda, Lightjet, Inkjet? Metallic paper or standard? Gloss or matte? Are you handling the framing or is the gallery taking care of it? Will you want to add borders for signing or will you be signing on the verso?
You only get about 10% of the quality of a print if you dont do it yourself, there are no pro photo 16 bit commercial printers of which I am aware. Happy to be proven wrong.
What does this even mean?
Richmond Pro Lab. Look for their competition prints. They don’t do framing above 8x10 (which comes in a 10x13 frame), but framing isn’t the hard part. The detail of the print is density/color managed for competition standards and they will mount it on 3/16 gatorfoam board.
White House Custom Color FTW! WHCC.com edit: I don’t work for them, but am a happy customer.

I use staples. Never had a complaint with them. They do up 24x36. Don’t do framing though.
I’ve had wonderful experience printing with Printique for the last 10 years. They print quickly and have very competitive prices.
