In my early MAME days, I would try each set....

But those were mostly 80s games, and hence not many to test, and ultimately I found that most games weren't different. Robotron and robotryo are exceptions; they play differently. So do the Centuri and Tehkan sets of Pleiads (Centuri's is harder).
So I almost strictly stick with the parent set, and don't even archive clones, etc. Exceptions are: rare cases like Pac-Man, where I use that set, cos I'm US of course; and when I want to use different scanline display methods - for example:
- DK/224x256 games older MAME : dd+scanlines 50% set 1 ; D3D+scanlines 50% set 2 ; or switchres 800x600 + scanlines 50% set 2 .
- DK newer MAME : effect scanrez2_V (my special version) set 1 ; HLSL set 2 .
- Pac/224x288 games newer MAME: switchres 800x600 + scanlines 50% set 1 ; HLSL set 2 .
This is using a CRT, of course.
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
