Higan (formerly BSNES) for SNES no doubt. It is *the* SNES emulator of choice if your PC can handle it (get the 64-bit version if possible). You may need to tweak it with shaders a bit (it renders all 240 scanlines vertically and most games only use 224 so it may be a bit letter boxed if you don't use an overscan shader to crop it), but it's great.
Not absolutely sure on NES/Genesis. For NES I use either the latest SVN build of FCEUX or NEStopia 1.40. For Genesis, I'm using Kega Fusion 3.64.
Edit: I've attached the combo of shaders I use for Higan. It combines "hi-res blend" which looks a bit like bilinear filtering, but actually will blend certain effects in pseudo-hires mode to be translucent as it would on a real tv. Basically, on a 512x224 SNES resolution, where every other vertical line of the 512 pixel horizontal plane is used, they are blended together to make translucency. The second pass of the shader crops the overscan and stretches to appropriate AR on my 16:9 display. You have to use the "stretch" AR and the shader basically compresses the image to the correct AR as I'm very bad at shader code editing, and this is the best I can do ;-) If you need any help with it, let me know.
