mini vMac is the gold standard, it's also super easy to use. Drag and drop a disk image and you're ready to roll.

Keep in mind that it emulates a Mac Plus with 4MB RAM, if you want to go "newer" (mainly for color) you'll have to dick around with Basilisk II which isn't as plug and play. SheepShaver is the 3rd option, and it's mostly good for super late PowerPC Mac OS 8 & 9 stuff.

All good my dude. If you want to run System 6 or 7 in monochrome like a 9" 68k Compact Mac, just grab minivMac. It pretty excellently emulates a Mac Plus.

Bunch of disk images:

You literally drag disk images onto the application window and if they're bootable, they boot. Otherwise you boot a System Disk and then mount the game disk or whatever.

It's great to insanely great for System 7 era stuff and later, it's quite bad for anything earlier. You can get away with some System 6 software but a lot of it will crash, not work right, or look weird. If you like late 68k / early PPC stuff (or later obviously), OS 9 will do the trick. If you want monochrome era software, an actual 68k machine is a way better choice, though mini vMac is literally the only emulator I can stand using because it's so good at running early Mac software.

Depends entirely on what software you want to use as I mention above. If you want the 90s Mac gaming experience, you'll want a PPC, probably an iMac or something from the "Return of Jobs" era in terms of reliability. If you want the 80s Mac gaming experience, you want a 68k. 80% of 68k machines are dying due to capacitor failure, so they can be a bitch and they're getting stupidly expensive. The more reliable models are the slowest. If you're making art or music, both are very cool options.
