PCSX2 is the way to go for the sake of better visuals (let's be honest, the aliasing at the sub 480p resolutions makes most peoples' eyes bleed). Playing the same games in full HD makes it nigh on impossible to go back to real hardware. Intel CPUs are more ideal for demanding emulation due to how they are architecturally and their instruction sets, how they work etc (PCSX2 developers have said this, it's not bias against AMD CPUs).
