Matt Berry:

There are also reviews available at http://retroblast.com/ . Your layout is a good start, but I would highly recommend building a couple of prototypes until you get the feel right. A dedicated 4-way is available at Happ it is the Ms pacman aniversarry stick, it is under the amuesment section (mounting for this should be with metal) and yes it is a ball top. There is a longer version available from Betson part# 47-9075-07 I can't give you all the details on these as I'm still waiting on thier arrival. I also highly recommend the Ipac for the interface. Another option for a spinner (if you add one) is the tornado from slikstik http://www.slikstik.com/ . I have one and it exceeded my expectations for it. As for 8-ways I'd also take a look at the Supers from happ. You may also decide to add a trackball to your panel - cheap side 2 1/4 from ultimarc expensive but nice happ 3". Good luck ;)

Yeah, I was originally going to put a spinner there, until I saw how much they cost!!!  I want to keep the price down on this two way setup.  Maybe later, when I have more moola coming in, I'll build another setup with a spinner and track ball..... Unless you can tell me how to build a cheap one out of toothpicks and elmers school glue or some old doggie chew toys...

Ebay. Or build your own. All you need is an optic.

TheNasty has a tutorial on how to build one out of Nestle Quick containers and dead PC parts:
