MMm... VICE outperforms all other C64 emus.
A lot of the semi good c64 emus (Frodo and the others..) have big problems emulating the 1541 drive. And that means that only a small amount of software will run. Almost no new multifile releases works with Frodo. A port of VICE would be the best option IMO.

"It has 1541-emulation as well so you can run those games that you mentioned. The only downside with it is that it doesn't have a GUI."

yes, ofcourse it has 1541 emulation, I have never tried a c64 emu that doesnt have it. But just having it is not enough. Frodos 1541 emulation is POOR. It can read files. But as soon as a custom filesystem wich 99.99% of all c64 releases released since 1997 is used Frodo halts.

And Frodo cant emulate any of the modern hitech screenmodes used nowadays either.

Frodo is OK for playing some old games, but if you are serious about your C64 emulation, and wants to use it for making hi-res graphics/watching new demos/playing new games, Frodo quite frankly sucks!
