I have 7 and 9. They both work well for me using a Xbox 360 controller. The graphics of characters and in game objects are better, but other than that, it feels like the same game. I can't recall having any crashes or anything on 7, and I'm currently playing through 9 without any issues (Windows 10) so far!
I have 7 on PC, several versions.
The original pc release had nasty sounding midi conversions that weren't great, requiring mods to put right. The later releases had original PS1 audio so much better. I bought the Square Enix release rather than Steam.
It's also possible to mod the PC versions with hi Res packs and what not, can be a fiddle to set up but makes the in game and battle models look much better. There's quite a few mods out there.
Don't think I ever had any of the others on PC.

There are also mods to fix the dodgy translation. Although saying that I found I actually missed some of the odd lines and names of items / materia / people.

Some of you PC gamers will probably remember that Final Fantasy 9 and 10 never made it onto the PC - they were PSX / PS2 only.
Some of you will also know that Final Fantasy 7 and 8 got re-done for the Steam platform some 5-odd years ago.
This is a heads up that I recently found out that 9 and 10 also got re-done for Steam, so it means that they're now playable on the PC! Square Enix have a Steam sale on at the moment so I bought 9 and 10. I'm also tempted to get the fairly recent World of Final Fantasy. Don't let the title fool you - it's not an MMO, but instead a wink back to the retro turn-based style of 7 and 8
Everything seems to be half price so the £30 World of Final Fantasy is £15. Sale ends on Monday.
For controllers, I recommend using a Sega Megadrive joypad or a SNES joypad. Obviously needs to be USB and / or bluetooth compatible.
