I'm losing faith in my aging floppy disks, and I'm considering emulating the images I've been writing on them.

I don't know what device to get, though. Are the OLED screen models with rotary switches worth buying?

I have one with the rotary screen and it works great for me.

It’s the only way to go these days in my opinion. Get the nicest one you can find. And put it all on a micro usb stick one of those flat ones that fits inside the port
