Depends on the games you play. I play street fighter more than any game, so I always go with 6 per player.
GnobarEl:
Yes,
I was thinking something like this:
- 6 player1
- 6 player 2
- Coin
- Pause
- Reset
- \ (for volume)
- Shift (read somewhere to use it)
- Esc
- Tab
- Enter
What do you think about it?

You may want to have a coin button for P2 as well since some games like Simpsons and Gauntlet assign credits based on which coin slot is used.
Not sure about reset. How often do you expect it to lock up on you?
For volume, is the "/" used for mute? How do you plan to turn the volume up/down with just one button?
The shift keys are for pinball flippers if you want to run Visual Pinball/Future Pinball.
Most people who use "shifted functions" do it to keep kids/friends from messing with the config menus or avoid having numerous admin buttons.
Examples of default shifted functions on an I-Pac include:
P1 Start + P1 Right = Tab (Menu)
P1 Start + P2 Start = Esc (Exit)
If you decide to use shifted functions in place of some dedicated admin buttons, you will probably want an instruction card on the bezel for guests.
