As a long-time emacs user (about 18 years), I am pretty happy with Aquamacs. To be honest, for anyone who has any significant personal customizations, the differences between different emacs "distros" on the Mac are pretty slight. There is also I believe an "Enhanced Carbon Emacs" add-on for Aquamacs that contains the extra packages that you mention. One detail that I like with Aquamacs, which I don't think is present in other emacs versions, is that you can drag the file icon from the Aquamacs menubar onto other applications. Useful for attaching files to mail messages for instance. Shame you can't drag from a dired buffer though... If you want to live on the cutting edge, there is also a Cocoa-based emacs (emacs-app.sourceforge.net), which now seems to be in the main emacs development trunk. Supposedly, Aquamacs plans to transition to being based on this in the medium term. Last time I tried it, it was pretty flaky though.
