It's been about 10 years now, but back when I used my XP and played the heck out of 'xmcota' in MAME, I preferred the "wide screen" look, and didn't mind if anything looked stretched. I wasn't clamoring for a bottle of aspirin.
Anyway, I did change it to the proper aspect once. With the narrow look (after being used to seeing it slightly stretched for so long) the game actually felt slightly different in the way it played.
