I've only tested MAMEW a little, but I'd say stick with AdvanceMame (which is what I use). Even though you have to wait a little longer for the betas to be released, the video mode tweaking in AdvanceMame is outstanding. When I use stretch mode on MAMEW, the games just don't look right (on a Voodoo3 3000). For instance, run:
mamew pacman -hws
and the dots in the maze aren't even all the same size!
Plus, as much as everyone says the performance is the same between DOS MAME and MAMEW, I just don't see it. My games run noticably faster under pure DOS.
Just my 2 cents...
