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?

The Odroid-Go series is pretty nifty. I liked the Advance better because it came as a DIY kit, but the Super adds the second analog stick and a bigger screen. Sort of fun to be able to SSH into your handheld if you need to. I suspect it's more of a known platform in terms of custom software than your random AliExpress device.
