So as a the guy who wrote the little Pegasus helper guide, of course I want to say I have made good experiences with Pegasus. Especially since I switched to gameOS: https://github.com/PlayingKarrde/gameOS

I really like pegasus. It's fast, beautiful (so many pretty themes), and supports many platforms. It even has some support for EmulationStation themes! It did take me a while to setup but as a programmer I appreciated the power of the metadata files. I know that it's gotten easier to add games (supports Launchbox) but isn't as easy as some other frontends. My biggest pain point is no built in way to exit emulators.

In comparison, the default theme, the gameOs theme, and refiOS are all very different from one another in terms of layout and execution. There's even an emulationstation theme converter (though I haven't personally used it).

Batocera or emulationstation-fcamod. You do have to set them up (es_systems.cfg and you can set up launch options by creating a shortcut > right click shortcut > properties > in the Target box add in one of those launch options to the end.
