Ok ok, serious answer. Emulators face different challenges and have different goals. So it's really hard to gauge a "best" metric when all possible qualifiers are pretty flexible!

But if I had to pick one... without any hesitation, it's Higan. It has achieved cycle accuracy in the console itself, which is on its own an astonishing feat that almost no other emulators ever achieve, and has moved on to building that accuracy for obscure and rare cartridge chips for the Super Nintendo. And behind it all is an incredible preservationist effort unlike any seen in emulation before, literally involving getting and scanning the PCBs and cartridges of every single SNES title ever made! Byuu is doing such incredible work!

Also Higan isn't just a Super Nintendo emulator! That whole project is so incredible I'm in awe that Byuu has been able to achieve all of this. I know he's had a lot of help with donations and such, but still, it's SO MUCH!
