No, in general you should be using better emulators as you're less likely to run into issues or inaccuracies. Yes the average user won't notice problems in bad emulation, but literally the only reason to use zsnes in this day and age is if you're nostalgic for its DOS-era UI. snes9x is very standard and comes as the default core in most multi-emulator solutions like RetroArch or OpenEmu. Some even-more-accurate (but more demanding) emulators like higan (the evolution of bsnes) or Bizhawk (a multi-emulator designed for Tool-Assisted Speedruns) have extra features, but snes9x is so advanced that it's actually implemented most of them too, like MSU-1 emulation. You seriously can't go wrong with playing a game in snes9x unless you care about a missing shadow or other obscure bugs.
