Go with 49 ways and a reunion.  Don't forget the "O" and "K" buttons.

Get the reunion. there is NOTHING that can replace a dedicated 4way.  In fact, I'd get a NOS 4way WICO if you can swing it.  If not, the reunion is a great stick.  I had one in my last machine, and will probably be putting one in my current catastrophe machine :)  Might wind up with a WICO I have sitting around though :)

As for Qbert, if you set it up correctly, it plays ok on an 8way.  Unless you're a big, big Qbert fan, you'll be fine.

On a square-restricted 8-way, that is.  Not so hot on a round-restricted 8-way like a Super or a Wico 8.

I just played with a Nintendo 4-way (like found in Donkey Kong) and forgot how sweet they are. 

I like the Nintendo 4-way action better than my reunion stick.  I haven't compared them side-by-side so I'm not even sure what the specific difference is, but the Nintendo seemed more authentic... probably because it's what I was using when I played DK as a kid.
