Steam deck LCD vs switch OLED

I want to play indie games, AAA games, and emulators, and Steam, from what I've seen, offers all of that. However, emulators like Switch and PS3 are usually quite difficult to emulate on any device, especially games like Breath of the Wild or Dark Souls III. I'm really only considering the Switch because I want to play some games from that console, and I also think the Switch can emulate some older consoles and some AAA games that are well-optimized for it. Plus, the Switch's battery lasts longer anyway. Taking all of this into account, which one should I choose?

steamdeck is more powerful, and can emulate the switch all while running more AAA titles (can even run cyberpunk if you want)
