You basically have three different generations of cards there. Since they are all so cheap I would pick the newest one (Gf2mx tv-out).

Agreed...get the geforce2.  They'll all probably handle Mame okay, but the geforce2 will give you the best results if you play any windows games (particularly 3D games -- but that's pretty much all of them).  I think that all Geforce2 level tv-out cards have s-video rather than composite-out, but I could be wrong.  Either way, it's your best option there.
