IMHO the question is "what do you want to achive?"
All these Dolby systems were designed to reduce tape hiss. And lowering the noise floor can increase usable dynamic range a bit.
There are limits to each system. If you go beyond these limits, audible distortions become a problem.
This is only one solution to the noise floor issue.
The most popular one in studios was to use a wider tape run at a higher speed.
That's why only bedroom studios ever used cassette as a recording media.
Of course, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't try using it today.
I wouldn't expect much better performance than Dolby Labs got with Dolby C.
Go for if you have the spare cash!
