The post is more about how there's an absurd number of clueless people in forums trying to figure out how to set things up and it's just a chaotic clusterfuck of mostly non-technical people talking past each other.
There are no "best settings" so much as "best settings for your machine on this game". So likewise with the emulators. There's no single best one.
You are correct
Some might be more trustworthy than others though. I think Eden seems like a pretty good project run by good devs
Eden/Azahar seem to be the current meta replacement for the newer Nintendo platforms. I wonder how much of that is a crowdfunded assessment of quality and how much is a result of modern emu communities being driven by preinstalled bundles in launchers, handhelds and install scripts (think ES-DE standards or Retrodeck/Emudeck defaults).
Either way, hey, they work fine, so... yay?
