Overall, Sun VirtualBox offers the richest set of features, along with very fast performance. Bochs is by far the slowest, but that is because of its full emulation, which gives it the highest accuracy.
 
None of them are necessarily "better" than the others. This comparison is just to point out their differences. It can't hurt to use more than one emulator (or several), in order to test your OS on a variety of platforms without using real hardware.
