does it really need that much to wire up a control panel.
i am just about to order some wire for a cocktal cab i am planning and i'm currently not sure how much to get. so any advice is welcome.

Probably not, but figure 1-2 feet per switch, 28 switches, 2 wires each, less for ground loops - 50 feet is probably sufficient, but more is better than less.

--- Quote ---also what type/gauge wire is recommended?

--- End quote ---
Most people like 22-gauge stranded.  Thinner will do the job, but harder to crimp to.  Thicker is more expensive and won't gain you anything.

--- Quote ---what size connectors are required? (i am getting ipac, joysticks and buttons from ultimarc). would .25 be ok?

--- End quote ---
Happ stuff usually needs 0.187 (3/8").  I think some ultimarc joysticks need 0.25.  You can use 0.25 on 0.187 tabs, but it's not ideal.
