I use both for different reasons.

I've been using ntvdmx64 since I moved my BBS to Windows 10 64-bit last year,
and have had mostly good results. All the doors I want to run, run just fine.
There were a handful I couldn't run, like Betrayal of the Obsidian Baboon and
a few others that I can't recall and frankly don't care about anyway.

The only reason I ever used (and still use) DOSBox-X is for Yankee Trader,
since it's famously known for crashing. Emulating it lets allows it to run
just fine crash-free.
