At the current stage, I always suggest to keep two emulators for main systems. You first try MESS and you see if the game works. Otherwise, you use the system specific emulator (and possibly you report the issue on MameTesters or to the MESS forum).
on average MESS is pretty good, and if you have a HLSL capable video card it can really offer a great experience, but none of the dev denies that there are often specific games which do not work yet (or classes of games using a common feature, like the SNES games using the BS-X expansion or the SA-1 addon chip, which are currently not supported in MESS), so if you are specifically interested into those games MESS alone is not enough for you.
as Haze says quite often, we aim to accuracy but emulating all the features needed by thousand of games for each system is not so easy as one might think.
since we avoid game-specific hacks, this means that we end up with some games not working...
