My 0.02 worth.  I looked into this last year.  The ST versions are not very
nice, at least compared with MAC and MS/DOS.

The Best for the buck is PAF from the Mormons.  MAC and MS/Dos for $39 each.

Mac ones run well on Spectre 128.

Ms/Dos ones run adequately on PC-Ditto (software emulator), and very well
on the hardware emulators.
