Yeah there isn't really a "best" front end. Personally I use Windows command line MAME with Mamewah as FE and find it excellent. Dragonking is also pretty cool I understand ( and particularly good for higher spec PC's ).

Thanks Minwah and Howard for your fine creations.

Any FE that you can make look good is what i would go with.  Personally am using MAMEWAH solely based on the ease of use and the availability of downloading layouts from screenshotarchive.com (Even if it seems kinda quirky when changing background resolutions)
