start with the scale you want to play and then work backwards, the best set (if indeed you can find a best) will be largely dependent on the scale you use. By scale I mean scale of game not miniature size as the two are not always the same.

After that it’s a case of deciding what kind of a game you want, a light pick up and play or a very granular simulation will shift the goal posts again.

I love Saga as a skirmish game, but if I want a historic version of Hastings it is balls. So you need to set parameters for yourself, otherwise we could probably list rulesets until the cows come home and it won’t get you any closer to what you’re after.
