The full PC Engine romset doesn’t take up that much space and is great especially if you’re into shmups. PC Engine CD games obviously take up a lot more space, but you should at least get Gate of Thunder, Lords of Thunder, Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Ys Book I & II. You need a BIOS file (syscard3.pce) too, which is probably somewhere on Myrient but easy enough to find online.
If Myrient has a full MAME romset, download that too and you’ll have basically most of the best arcade games ever made. I’m assuming you’ve already planned on downloading all the 8 and 16-bit console games, so those probably don’t need to be mentioned.
They do have a mame set, in all three formats to boot. They also have a technoparrot set which has new arcade games, including like MariokartDX. Those are kinda hard to find so I’d definitely download any of those you care about.
Also like to add the ds/3ds to that list, if you filter for USA or Europe roms they aren’t too big (50/250gb) and some ds games are nice to play on your phone. It’s also just hard to get fullsets.
Yeah, the TeknoParrot stuff is definitely worth downloading, there’s a bunch of games in there that have no home versions. I was actually looking for Senjin Aleste forever until it one day showed up on Myrient with all the other TeknoParrot games.

This is great, thanks for the info! I’m going to look into downloading the full PC Engine romset once I get off work.
