Hi Guys,
This is my first attempt at a stand up arcade,
My issue is that there seem to be alot of this and that of which joystick is the best; sanwa, happ, zippy, etc.
The main games im planning on running are;
Streets of rage, 1 & 2
Street fighter 2
Donkey kong
Pac man

And a few more very similar,

My question is, what will be the best joystick to play these games? 

Vigo:

Welcome!

Well, the first 2 games and the last two games on your list ask for a very different style joystick. What I think is the best joystick for Street Fighter is the Sanwa JLF, but i would say it is the absolutely worst joystick for Pacman and Donkey Kong. It is not even that good with a 4-way restrictor plate, IMO.

If you are looking for something that can play those different styles well, I would simply recommend something that can switch between 4 and 8-way easily. Ultimarc Servo Stik or Mag Stik might be a good option.

You might consider a U360 if you are looking to play a wide range of games.
