S5 MAX is more of an entry Roborock (P5 design shared with S6 PURE and S4 MAX) with the mopping system from the T7 PRO (s6 max v) and T7 model (not available globally).
S6 is just an older generation "upgrade" to the original S5 or "S50" model. It has the worse mopping, but the robot is more of a former flagship design and has higher build quality. Certain sensors are also better.
So in terms of value.. S5 MAX would likely be your bet since you value mopping.. but ehh..its not amazing per say. S5 MAX is certainly better than S6 for this specific task though.
Mopping wise.. S7 > S6 MAX V = S5 MAX> anything else.
Vacuum wise.. Just depends on surfaces. They all trade off in some way, regardless of what certain reviewers reviewing 1 specific sample say.
As most of us know, this unit wipes floors to keep down surface dirt and dust. If used consistently, it actually does a great job of it as long as the wipe pad is cleaned regularly. But it is definitely not a scrubbing mop.
Airflow is generally higher on the newer models, but they sit up higher relatively and trade off performance wise.
S4 MAX... Its internally identical to S5 MAX and S6 Pure, but tuned slightly different.
Airflow, height, and general tolerance impact actual performance on surface. Most reviewers ignore these aspects.

I have had the S4 max since october and it's fantastic.
From what I understand the way that iRobot, Roborock, etc. implement "mopping" is basically just a swiffer like function and is kind of a gimmick. There are dedicated mopping bots with spinning brushes, etc. which perform much better. I already have a swiffer, and I don't mind using it every once in a while, especially since setting up/cleaning a mopping robot is kind of a hassle in itself. The biggest thing for me is just the vacuuming so there isn't dust on my feet when walking around.
