Greatest emulator IYO

I just wanted to know what do you think is the optimum example of a great emulator. CHoose for whatever reason: features/options, compatability, looks, speed, etc.
I'm not quite sure but I think I have to go with either Zsnes or Kawaks. Both have amazingly good compatability and good list of options.

Gonna go with Zsnes as well. Though it has mostly to do with the simple fact that since I first started using emulators zsnes has gotten the most use out of any of 'em. It's weird since it was also the first emulator I downloaded (wanted to play the newly translated FF5.)

ZSnes as it's what got me into emulation. However, I use many different emus now, and they are all very advanced.

Massage, Zsnes and PJ64. I wasn't able to feel the full glory of PJ64 on my K6-2 or my other machines (p3 733 and p3 1 gig with savage2000), but now i can.

Snes 9x (yeah I know, I know... Zsnes is better) as it was the emu that started my emulation life... when I heard that you can patch roms to play them in english... well, that's how it started...

Gens.. Revolutionized sega console emulation.. Perfect Genesis, SegaCD, and almost perfect 32x emulation..

Of course epsxe is the best psx emulator in existence today..

ZSNES for snes
and ePSXE for PX

ZSNES is cool, it's the best IMO, but Snes9x isn't bad either...

ePSXe is the only good PSX emu I know, VGS is very compatible but to slooooooooooooooowwww, and so ugly...

THE best emu ever? SNES9X. Specially 'cause I can use 3dfx image output. Zsnes for dos isn't workin' good here and the windows ver is too slow. The second best emulator is VGS. Its simple, has a great compatibility, I don't have to configure anything, don't require a great computer, its fast... Anyway, this is MY opinion, so...

That's right I forgot about Gens... I almost cried when I saw Lunar TSS and EB finally emulated running at full speed... without doubts the perfect emulator for the Sega 16 bit system...
