If you are looking to play original adf's then the XBOX is fine.
If you try to use it as a workbench replacement with a hdf file attached it slows down quiet a bit.
Never used a WII for emulation so I would not know.

I ask as the video for the Xbox one looks amazing:

And the Wii version is a bit rough in terms of UI:

But I haven't got an Xbox though.

Wii version works quite well.
It has a new dev last time I checked. Been along time since I worked on WiiUAE.

I have the XBox Version and Madmab put a lot of time and effort into updating the interface and the screenshots and videos.
They have also done the Megadrive,SNES,PC Engine and Atari 7800 to name a few

the xbox is a really good emulation box.
the wii is a bit more powerfull really. and if you wanted to emulate gamecube too then wii is your only reall option.
i would alway put my money in the xbox emulation camp.
the emulators have had a long time to mature.
but the wii is a very viable option for emulating.

But but but, you can use mario kart wheel on wii for games like lotus.
Great fun.
Never got around to hacking my brothers xbox1. Sure it can cope well.
Only worked on improving a few bits. Nice of Simon to credit me, even though I didnt expect to be.
EDIT:- Turns out someone is trying to get the new PPC JIT Compiler working on WiiUAE. Wish I still had my Wii,

The Wii is a fairly powerful console, and a softmodded one does lend itself well for emulation. However it is a fiddly UI to use for emulation that is based on keyboard/mouse based systems. Also I'm never been 100% happy with emulation for most systems. SNES emulation is very nice and you can tun Gamecube and N64 games natively so it is a great gaming system anyway.
The original Xbox might be a bit less powerful, but is was adopted by the emulation scene more than any other console to date because it is fairly easy to port emulators due to its architecture and they are quite advanced and easy to use.
The Xbox is also a lot more advanced for anyone whom likes to play around with a system as you can easily network it to your PC to transfer files and play around.
The Wii is also a bit limited in terms of storage compared to the Xbox. Although it is easy to just put files on an SD card, which isn't possible on the Xbox. You also have the homebrew network for downloads on the Wii which is a very nice resource.
