Ok.. I am a total newbie to building a MAME cabinet machine, but the posts here have helped so far.

I am looking to build a MAME machine capable of running other emulators (NES, Genesis, etc) as well as using it for a jukebox.

If you want it going right away, go the JAMMA cab + JPAC = ArcadeVGA

Once you have the parts + the cab (assuming no defects) You are literally playing within an hour. Much less time if PC is already loaded.

can't decide.. the jamma cab only has 2 buttons per controller... if i go with an x-arcade joystick, is there a player 1/2 credit button?

if i go with the jamma, i only need jpac then? how do i get the controller to "talk" to the mame comp?

The JAMMA standard is 3 action puttons per player. There are some extra wires inside if it is in fact JAMMA and someone didnt yank them out of the edge harness.
