Alot of joystick choice will depend on what YOU think is the best joystick.

1) What exactly do you want the stick to FEEL like?
Completely round feel?
Slightly square feel?
VERY square feel?

2) How far should the joystick travel?

3) Is rebounding a problem?
What I mean here is if you are pushing right, and let go of the stick, is it going to be a problem if it goes left/right/left/right/left before stopping at the center?

4) How much resistance should the stick have to movement?

5) Do you want it to do double-duty as a TRUE 4-way stick?

Because X-box MAME sucks.

As i've pretty much used controllers all my life, so i guess i could get used to anything (whichever's best for street fighter). Possibly slightly square for dragonpunch type movements, But not sure.

Again, i think i can get used to whatever. Although it would probably be better if i didn't have to move it a long way before a direction was pressed, so i could react quicker and stuff.

I don't think so.

I don't recon this really matters too much either. Obviously not too much.

Nah....it wouldn't matter at all, as i'd have different swappable controls for 4-way games etc.

And what about the X-Arcade thing? i heard some people say they've got really bad lag, is this true? would putting different joysticks and buttons in make any difference?

Thanks :D

Nope... Any lag would be caused by the encoder, not the controls.
I don't have any experience with the X-Arcade Control Panel, but I've used their controls (Sticks & buttons).  & they work fairly well.  They don't compare to the feel of Happs stuff, but they work.
