Im sure I will 
On my DK cab I was using the joysticks from Mike's Arcade, and I actually liked the way it felt. But built a 2 player panel with my extra joysticks I had in the house which are X-arcade bats :\...then the girl my wife watches was playing Ms.Pacman and pulled the joystick down and it broke off the panel, so i replaced it with a cheap stick i got on ebay, which is suppose to be a galaga/ms.pacman replacement that I had on my old cab.
Anyway...it was time for me to upgrade, I cant wait for them to get here! coming from ParadiseArcade, Great site, awesome shipping! I ordered at 11pm Sunday night EST, and the next morning it was on its way, actually processed from the post office....
Monday I mean...i forgot I was off work on Monday screwed up my sense of time....
?!?
I've never actually seen a joystick break off a panel. And I've seen and played on a lot of bad ones. So it's surprising a little girl could do that.
I adapt very well to different kinds of joysticks, as long as they are ball-top. Probably because I'm never looking for that "perfect" stick.
The original joysticks for Time Pilot '84, Indiana Jones, Ms. Pac-man. etc. probably didn't fell the same, but I was too into the games back in the 80s to notice it on a conscious level.
Even though I'm an old school gamer, micro-switch joysticks don't bother me, but I decided to stick with leafs for other, non-game play related reasons. And I would never play a Williams game without the original sticks.(ie: Joust, StarGate, & Robotron).
By the same token I would never play Mario Bros. with anything outside of the original micro switches.
In other words there is no "best" joystick for all games, but I stay with what I've gotten used to for each game.
