Pick ares if…
ares suits people looking to emulate supported systems on desktop Linux, macOS, or Windows, including developers working on original software for those systems. Linux users should be comfortable compiling from source or finding third-party packages.
Pick BizHawk if…
BizHawk suits Tool-Assisted Speedrunners and users who want recording, playback or debugging tools across supported systems. It is for Windows and Linux users, with the Linux N64 core omission worth noting.
