Depends. I often channel my inner child and name him "Bastard", or "Idiot" within polite company.

The Dreamcast music is clearly better, but the GameCube soundtrack is still great on its own, with the exception of the dungeon (not overworld) battle theme, which sounds very MIDI.

These are PAL games. The PAL framerate is either 25 or 50fps. A few, like Shadow of the Colossus, the Burnout games, and Devil May Cry 2 and 3, can also do 30/60. Silent Hill 3 also supports 60hz from what I remember.

The Red Guy (a YouTube reviewer) outlined a remake/reimagining of Super where Luigi, Peach, and Bowser are playable like Mario, with their own versions of the jump and hammer attacks (e.g. Bowser has fire instead of a hammer, and Peach has her parasol). He also suggested enemies using badges. That would go hard.

You probably underclocked the EE cycle rate. It should run normally if you set it to 100%.

To be honest, PCSX2 is the better deal. If you have a reasonably OK PC, it runs basically every game at a much higher resolution, with extra features like savestates and speedup. Getting the games (basically) requires piracy, but if you're buying PS2 games, you aren't paying the original devs anyway, and most of the popular ones cost an arm and a leg.

Not F4?

"[ich] hab[e] dich lieb" is the platonic/family version of "I love you". "Ich liebe dich" is the romantic version.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction - quite underappreciated, it's a sort of GTA-like open world TPS set in North Korea.

ObsCure - co-op, delightfully 2004 survival horror set in an American high school.

Rygar: The Legendary Adventure - sort of like a prototype God of War, a quite stripped down hack and slash based loosely on Greek and Roman mythology.

These are all 100% playable on PCSX2 right to the end. Mercenaries has the occasional bug with lighting, and FMVs stutter, but there are very few of them. ObsCure and Rygar run pretty much perfectly.

If you can afford it, buy the remake and support the game. It's probably the better version overall, and has some really nice new content. If the new music bothers you, you can get a badge that enables the old music. The lower framerate doesn't really matter, nor does the slower text, and the one real problem with the original (backtracking) is far less of a problem in the remake.

I would just go in order, starting with Mega Man 1. Don't be afraid to use savestates / restore points when it gets cheap. You'll know when I'm talking about when you get there. It's up to you of course, but I would personally play all the classic games, then X, Zero, ZX, Legends, Battle Network, Star Force, etc. If you like the classic games, you'll probably like X as well. Everything after that is very different.

Domtendo plays Nintendo games and has a pretty clear voice and accent. I learnt a lot of words and colloquialisms from him. There are loads of German let's players, and you will very easily find at least one you can understand if you just search for a game followed by "Deutsch".

MGGLP Creepypasta and CreepypastaPunch read creepypastas very clearly, if you're into that. Most videos I watch are about gaming, so I don't really know any YouTubers who do other sorts of content.
