Best source port for just wads?

doom retro is the only thing I use, unless its GZDOOM only, such as hdoom

This sounds really interesting - maybe this is a stupid question and the answer is obvious, but can you tell me the difference to MBF (which i use in MSDOS)?

Well they don't support any Boom or MBF feature, obviously.

To expand on this, MBF is actually a source port - the UDoom32 / Doom32 EXEs are just modified versions of vanilla doom that raise the limits. In truth, I imagine MBF is more robust in just about every way, though I’ve never used it first hand.

Thanks, i actually didn't realize MBF supports Boom features...though, i should have, since i do remember reading about it but rubber didn't meet the road as i never thought of trying Boom maps in MBF.  Very interesting, i'll have to experiment!  Thank you both.  (And this means, i could play Si666il with simply doom32.exe!)

DSDA-Doom because it's basically PrBoom+ but with much better feeling mouse

For more vanilla-based stuff, I like DSDA-Doom. It's got the vanilla options but widescreen and an OpenGL mode.
