Question Best Dosbox build?

Which build is the best at playing games, the one released at Daum Cafe, Gulikoza's the AEP dailybuild, or the standard one? I tried all of these builds but I have no way of measuring performance, or compatibility. The one from Daum's Cafe starting breaking games so I stopped using it, but I liked that build because of the GUI it built into the Dosbox window. I'm now using the AEP dailybuild and it virtually runs the same as the standard. I've rarely run Gulikoza's build, BTW. What are your opinions on the various builds?

I wasn't even aware that there was "special" builds for DOSBox. So, my answer will be very simple:

I love DOSBox because it allows me to run games made from the DOS era into a great emulation of DOS. I like typing old DOS commands just as much as I liked it back in the old days. I see no point in using another "build" only to have an UI I don't want, it would even be a detrimental addition IMHO.

For the rest... I usually always use the last version and if it doesn't work with the game I want to run, I backtrack the other versions to see if it worked better back then.
