Paralyzed by choice, which handheld to best game on? (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to get into playing some old games I've either missed out on or have completely forgot I've even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can't settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can't settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what's the best handheld experience?

I'm sure there are better options, but I always come back to my modded PSP. Having PSP, PS1, SNES, GB, GBA, and most Genesis games available is more than I'll ever need. The slim size/decent battery life means I'm always ready to grab it when taking a trip, and it doesn't hurt that I love the feel of the buttons.
