It's a little fuzzy because the Soviets were playing games with the licensing, but I believe the Atari version came first. If you're talking about the original original, i.e. the one actually created by Alexey Pajitnov, that one is not in MAME. It ran on a Russian DEC knockoff called the Elektronika 60.
Of the ones in MAME, I have no idea which one was most popular. Probably Atari? If you're talking in general, the Nintendo version for the Gameboy is the most popular by a country mile.
