Stationary you simply can't beat the pc for the sheer amount of emulated systems and active development of said emulators in my opinion. There is also the ease of use and readily available roms that are a couple of clicks away. CoinOps on the Xbox is also very nice but the PC is the daddy. On the move depends how you define on the move, laptop for the win here but if you mean hand held someone else will have to put there 2 pence worth in for that.
I don't emulate at home, well other than WinUAE which is for setting up Amiga CF's and HDD's!
Otherwise at home I play fo' real or not at all
On the move I have my Netbook packed with Emulators, WinUAE, Mame, N64, MD, Snes, etc
And I have my JXD 7300 which does everything I need

At home you can't beat a Windows desktop. Most active platform for emulators and has all the best ones. In conjunction with a USB interface to an original controller there's no better setup possible.
I do Emulate on my Amiga's, I find Spectrum & Mac emulation the most interesting. Speccy mainly because as you say Firthy, playing with a normal controller is more authentic but also a proper display too helps. I just can't enjoy retro games on my PC screen.

On the move I use a JXD S7800B, it's by far the best of the "cheap Chinese handhelds" I've used, and have had several of the earlier ones such as the Dingoo which lacked power and build quality. It's a great balance of price, quality and compatibility.
At home I use my Wii for emulators, as the Nintendo "Classic" controllers are really good quality, and it's better playing games in front of the telly rather than on a PC.

What Joypad will work on PS 2 emulator? I have Mircosoft Xbox 360 pc joypad and will that work with it?
Simple solutions - or solutions that appear simple seem to work best.
For at home play, I quite like the original XBox console - able to run an near A500 speeds, can play Megadrive / CD32 / Neo-Geo SNES and a little N64 with very little effort.
On the Go, well today if your tablet cannot do it, then your mobile phone can - however I love the first edition PSP-2000 - once put on to custom firmware its truly an amazing little hand-held.... with some great emulators - in fact I think it has the best version of FUSE (ZX Spectrum) I have ever seen! with flawless rendition of MegaDrive / 32x and Mega CD, SNES is pretty tasty too.... but my biggest love is CPS1, 2 and the Neo Geo..... ahhh its delightful - you can even set up an adhoc network with your buddies and play 2 player CPS1 / 2 and Neo Geo games!!!
SNES is great and theres so much more with PSP and PS1 games on the system.... I now have 2x 32GB Cards!
Of course if you want it ALL IN then there is the humble PC, you don't need much, a cheap re-serviced ex-office computer will suffice - something like a DELL optiplex USFF 745 is perfect when hooked up to a large screen - stick on XBMC as well and you are truly in for a delight that would likely cost you less than a second hand PS4 game =)
Being a PC, there are a lot of adaptors for USB to joystick / pad and any other input device for that matter =D

Home use Windows PC has the best options by far.
On the move I have recently got one of these:
IMOS G910 Bluetooth gamepad with phone clip (http://www.amazon.co.uk/IMOS-Blueto...UTF8&qid=1405638298&sr=8-1&keywords=imos+g910)
With this and my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone I have emulators for:
MAME, ZX Spectrum, C64, SNES, Amiga, Megadrive, PS1, N64 DS and PSP.
Lots of emulation on android
