What kind of joystick are you most familiar with? Bat or ball? Then narrow down what you want from there - restrictor type oif any ,4 or 8 way, etc. Same with buttons. Concave, convex, american, japanese? Figure out what you need and half of it is done.

This is part of my problem. It's been close to 35 years since I spent much time in front of a machine. I would definitely want a four way as well as the eight ways. Don't know if I have a preference between the buttons. I like the ball top sticks but don't know the difference between brands/models.

eds1275:

Where you grew up has a big influence on what you will remember. Try to think of what games you used to love, and then find out what the controls were for them. For example, bat tops didn't come into play until early 90's from what I gather - but they were about all I used being hardcore into the "fighter scene." Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, even the Neo Geo machines had them. Earlier would have been ball tops of some sort and possibly even leaf switches.
