What "extra" buttons should I consider including on my 2 player CP?

I will be using the I-Pac.

With an IPAC, you can assign one button as a shift key and then press the shift key and another key to get a shifted function. The reason for this is so that you don't have to have a ton of other buttons on your panel, allowing it to look more authentic.
What I'm planning on doing for mine is having 7 buttons for each player, along with player 1 and 2 starts. Then I'll have a shift button hidden away on each side of the control panel box. Shift+1P will be coin for 1P, Shift+2P will be coin for 2P, Shift+Button7 will probably be Exit game, etc. I'm planning on hooking up a coin door and using either quarters or tokens most of the time for that authentic feel, so this should work fine, I think.

You don't need pause or enter or escape. P1 start +P1 joystick down is pause. P1 start + P2 start is escape etc. I think the functions are on the Ultimarc web site.

oh wow- I didn't know all this! Shoot- maybe I need to do some reconfiguring here...
What about the 'ok' buttons? How can you configure those?
What about the TB 3 buttons/mouse buttons? Same question...
thanks!
