Paralyzed by choice, which handheld to best game on? (self.retrogaming)

I've been trying to get into playing some old games I've either missed out on or have completely forgot I've even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can't settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can't settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what's the best handheld experience?

I switch between a few systems I’ve modded. I love Pokémon Red, Gold and Crystal on my GBC with IPS screen and it’s fun seeing my 5 year old enjoying it so much. The Slate GBA SP is amazing, and with an Everdrive cart I have so many great games including the NES library. I have a New 2ds LL that’s been region changed and modded with the HShop. If I could only have one system, it would be this. It can play everything my other systems can. I still enjoy switching though.
