Best modded console for 240p gaming on CRT? (Wii vs PS2?) (slrpnk.net)

So, I'm searching the best console to run 240p games thru RetroArch on a CRT (14" feels the best size for this): I've read the most mature homebrew console for this are Wii and PS2. PS2 is less powerfull but it has native 240p output and can run PSX native. Wii doesn't have native 240p but ppl claim 480i/480p is sharp enough and the difference is minimal, also it's more powerfull and can run more platforms. I would exclude more expansive options like FPGA or an ad-hoc raspberry.

[Edit] Title fixed since retroarch isn't needed in this scenario

It probably needs a Y-cable for external drives that require power. Only og Wii (rvl-001) can run gamecube natively.
