Why so many cores

I wanted to play some SNES games and get some retro achievements. so I downloaded RetroArch. But now I don't know, which core to use. I’ve read that bsnes is generally the best option—or at least better than Snes9x—though Snes9x is recommended for weaker hardware and is also suggested here:

Now, when I go to the Core Downloader in RetroArch, I find five cores with "Snes9x" in the name and even nine with "bsnes." As a beginner in this area, I have no idea which core I should choose. Could someone tell me how to figure out which core is the most suitable for me?
