I'd go for WHDLoad,A1200, '030. its real and good enough for most games. You can easily connect proper Amiga joystick and mouse for that 'authentic' feeling. (there are some USB joystick for winuae, don't know how good they are). Also most PC keyboard cant handle multiple simultaneous keypress.
A real A1200 can't handle simultaneous keypresses too well either. As I remember, it can't detect more than 4 keys depressed at once in any given keyboard row. I think the A1200 was unique amongst Amiga models in having this "feature".
OTOH the most important advantage of using WinUAE is that it runs on standard PC monitor. (but at the same time its a feature that spoils that 'retro feeling' most of all)
I find that with UAE fullscreen mode I can happily entertain the fantasy that I am using a real Amiga with upgraded video output. On the rare occasions when I get out my old A1200 setup, I am horrified by the flickery 1084 display. (Yes, that's without interlace.) Not much better than the TV modulator. It's frightening to think of the years I sat staring at it.
