Aquaemacs is good at providing a natural Mac feel & compatibility; if you mainly do a variety of tasks on Mac OS X I find it helps your interactions go smoothly. And recent versions have been better at stability. The maintainers are very responsive, almost as good as the Mac R team ;-).
OTOH if you do emacs on different platforms a lot, then you may find Aquaemacs disconcerting. (I'm more in the former camp these days, but sympathize with both.)
