They'll be fine. They've been the standard for decades (although they did change from cherry brand to e-switch brand switches).
The differences among "standard" buttons among different vendors is mostly in the switches.
Some offer quieter switches with less activation pressure.
If the plunger bottoms out when you hit the button (how most people play), you're still going to have that sound anyway and probably aren't going to notice that slightly less pressure was required.
That said, I've been in the hobby for a few years and enjoy tweaking stuff to make it exactly how I want it.
You have to start somewhere so you can learn what you like and don't like.
You can always add different switches later.

HAPP Comps are great for all the old school 4 way stuff and decent for 8 way fighters and what not but if you are a serious fight game player those quarter/half circles (diagonals) are not as easy as some of the other sticks.
The Comps are built like tanks as well, probably the most durable stick out there.

I have always preferred happ supers myself. They are what all the Capcom games were actually shipping with back during the Final Fight/Streetfighter 2 era.

This is my opinion as well. Supers are better than competition joys. Competition joys feel clunky with that huge square actuator.
