Can anyone tell me the size hole I should drill for the zippy joystick? Also is it the same size for the GGG Arcade Prime pushbuttons?

A Zippyy mounted under 3/4" MDF can use a hole between 3/4" and 1 1/8" wide.
The closer you get to the upper and lower extremes, the better you have to center the stick.
3/4" is the absolute minimum size so the shaft doesn't hit the sides.
1 1/8" is pretty close to the maximum size so the dust washer covers the center hole. when the joystick is pushed to any angle.
The dust washer for a Zippyy is designed to rest on top of the CP.

Arcade Prime pushbuttons = standard 1 1/8" hole.
