awstats/webalizer
259/353
470/825
551/766
These are all wordpress sites, if that matters.
For webalizer I'm using the yellow "visits" number. For awstats I'm using the yellow "visits" number also.
Which of these numbers is the right one in terms of eyeballs on my sites each day?

I left webalizer long time ago, far too simple an inaccurate, and eventually got a "clone" of awstats custom coded. Find the awstats documentation - there are detailed info on how they count uniques and so on.
