Blanka:
Which one does best in 1920x1200 blocky graphics all the way? So all output must me 1920x1200@60hz, including front end screens, and no smooth scaling may be used.

What is Maximo I've never heard of that before?

You put a FE that noone's heard of before yet miss out other popular ones.

I agree with Cakemeister speed is relative. For slow machines MameWah and Atomic are in the same ballpark although Atomic can render more complex skins. For faster machines you will probably find that 3D accellerated FE's will win out, ones like Khameleon and my own FE. I must say though for a non-3d accellerated FE and considering the amount of animation and effects HyperSpin does I would say it's damn fast. I even successfully ran HS from remote desktop, so it was streaming through my 100 MBit network and ran quite well.

I use Mamewah on both my stand up MAME cabs and MALA (at least for now) on my cocktail.

Seconded, for the same reason. Once you know the score, it's a very 'open' frontend, with pretty much limitless additions in terms of rom/emu support - which is where it counts to me. Plus out of the box it isn't resource-dependant like some of the prettier FE's so can be run on lower-spec machines, yet can still be tarted up if you have something with a bit more juice.
Visitor Q:
I use Game Ex and HyperSpin.

Game Ex has all the functions and HyperSpin has all the looks. I swtich back and forth right now.

I agree, it's by far the most adjustable one and it can look very awesome. I use it on all my three cabs, although I selected a different skin and arcade set for each cab. It has a nice feel to be able to walk in  virtual arcade surrounded by all the classic games and hearing the arcade sounds. I must admit that it's not easy to set things up.
