Comparison

blueMSX: Considered to be the go-to emulator for MSX, has the highest compatibility and features out of any MSX emulator. Also has a pretty nifty GUI.

OpenMSX: The only MSX emulator for Linux, has standard features and compatibility just like every other emulator.

fMSX: The only pay-to-use emulator for MSX, is no longer active. Compatibility is unknown. Recommended not to be used on Windows because of the other alternatives.

fMSX for Windows requires a payment of $19.99 to use. However, you can download the source and compile it yourself.
