iOS, no question about it, I have both an Android phone and an iPad, the Android phone has "better" specs, yet 3D games are choppy on it (multiplatform titles like Crazy Taxy).

Less demanding titles work fine on both, however, there is less choice on Android... yet, if you want emulators without jailbreaking, Android is your only choice (it means you can run all your classic favorite titles, any good phone will do it).

Agreed, though emulaters and touchscreens don't really go well together.

Most emulators support bluetooth gamepads (f.e. PS3 controllers), both on iOS and on Android. You need a jailbreak on iOS to get access to emulators and to set up a PS3 controller as MFi controller, but most Android devices also need root to connect a wireless gamepad... so not much difference between the two.
