Basically you want to use use GZDoom, not because it's the "best", but because it has the widest compatibility. It will play basically any wad you throw at it which means you spend less time being autistic, and more time playing.

That said, there are a lot of options to configure, and the default settings give it a pretty drastically different feel to vanilla Doom. Look up what they do and adjust to your preference. At a minimum I'd encourage you to disable texture filtering, and set the scaling so things like the HUD and menu aren't stretched or squashed, for a more authentic experience.

With the a little time tweaking, it's possible to get GZDoom running at a perfect middle ground between vanilla authenticity, and modern enhancements.

Also looks fantastic if you use vanilla tonemap combined with dynamic lights tbdesu
