I did have an ultra-rare Shark Jaws boardset, wiring harness and bezel/marquee for a while, but I sold them to a dude in the UK.
TOK:
I voted Moon Patrol. It has very cool art, and if this is going to be MAME rather than dedicated, Moon Patrols stick and two button layout would be good for many other Golden Age games. Asteroids and Tempest are cool, but their layouts really limit them as MAME projects.

If it's going to be a kid's cab, my first vote would be for Frogger.
-----Honorable Mentions-----
Tempest is good, if you want a spinner-based cab.
The younger kids love to spin the spinner really fast, and shoot like crazy.
In the "ain't been done before/probably won't be done again" arena, I'd vote for Rampage.
That's the most requested game when my sister's kids come over.
For a trackball-based cab, I'd vote Crystal Castles.
And finally, in the "coolest mini ever" category, I'd go with Dragon's Lair.
OSCAR:
I was really pleased with how mini-Gottlieb MAME cab turned out. I have always liked the overall shape and clean lines of the Q*Bert and Mad Planets cabs, that's why I went with that design. It is 4ft tall overall and I gave it a Q*Bert style paint job. And I *finally* have the sideart being printed out, so after I get that applied it will be done.
