Assuming you have a Pi4 and not a potato (Pi3 or lower), use the latest possible version of MAME that the Pi can run e.g. 2016 or later, and preferably not through RetroPie/RetroArch as that can cause issues when running MAME, not to mention the lr-mame cores shown above being way too old for any sort of use (even lr-mame2010 is pushing it in terms of accuracy). Likewise, Final Burn Alpha is also way too old to be of any use unless the device is as powerful as a PC from last century, so use Final Burn Neo if you absolutely have to.
If you only have a Pi3, your options are going to be very limited, as you're basically looking at a low-end (e.g. Celeron) PC from roughly 2002 in terms of processing power. If it's a Pi Zero, expect it to be curb-stomped by a Pentium 3 866 running Windows 98 SE.
