NullDC is the best Dreamcast emulator right now, and the best version to download is at emuparadise, its pretty darn good, but I haven made a ton of progress in the games Im playing, so Ill update as I go along. Im happy with it now. The only issue is a shadow glitch in Soul Calibur and Dead Or Alive 2, and SC's opening scene is glitchy.
Theres two versions of the Dreamcast basically, Model 1 that was made before Oct 2000 is the only one that plays cdr copies, and you need cdi files that self boot, or the Utopia boot disk software you burn onto a cdr to play them. You need Disk Juggler to burn games that are bigger than 700mb to cdr disks.
The Saturn did have a better controller than the Dreamcast, and Ive seen on Game Sack Joe had an adapter for it. You use the Kurakura setting in maple on NullDC to use a usb controller to play games. Dreamcast controllers are very common, so dont really worry about them breaking down.
This guys channel is pretty good for Dreamcast info.

Its because of that tuning that I dont trust Dreamcasts sellers on Craigs List, Id buy a Dreamcast from a good friendly retro store though that would understand if it died in 3 months of buying it. I dont know how reliable the model 1 is, but I hope its better than the model 2.
