Wow - I checked through the whole thread and no one has mentioned the Amstrad CPC even once!
My list - driven by nostalgia:
1 Amstrad CPC
2 Mame
3 Dosbox
4 BBC - just for exile
I know the other main 8 bit machines are definitely getting emulators but I always loved the games on my 464 and 6128. I've spent so much time playing old amstrad games in emulators that the thought of a portable amstrad was what sold me the pandora. Besides on a few occasions the amstrad got the best versions of 8 bit games.
I hope ZX81 will still be porting an emulator.
