I agree, you're comparing apples and raspberries..I mean oranges.
I've used several of the listed options, for different things.
Plain WinUAE - Always handy to have when you just need to quickly load an ADF or check something out
Amiga Forever - Same, but even quicker/easier to set up. Also a convenient, legal way to get ROMs and Workbench disks.
Amibian/Amiberry - Showed great potential as a "pretend Amiga", but incompatibility, inconsistent performance and lack of features turned me away. UAE on Arm isn't as mature as WinUAE.
AmiKIT - It's fun to play around with just to see what can be done with classic AmigaOS 3.x when it's pushed to the limit
Icaros/Aros - I occasionally play around with this in a VM. It's cool, but I've never managed to get it to boot on "real" hardware (I think my PC's are too new).
ClassicWB - I run this on my MiST. It's fairly lightweight and the most compatible with older games/apps.
