OSCAR has a great joystick review here.
His consensus seems to be:
Happ Super: Good overall stick.
Happ Competition: Best "fighter"-stype stick.
Happ Ultimate: Crap.
I've only used Supers, and I like 'em.

sasquatch put it pretty good.. I have four supers myself and so far so good.. but you might want to look at the competitions if you do a lot of fighter games

How do the competetion joysticks do on 4-directional games? I play a lot of fighter games, but I also enjoy games such as Pac-Man. Do they play pretty well, or do you run into a lot of problems with it not going the direction you want? Also, how does the Super do on fighter games? Is it pretty tough to hit the combos?

An 8 way stick is not near as good as a dedicated 4 way stick no matter what stick you use.
The competition has corners you can feel, the supers have a round action. I think the supers are better for fighter games that require half rounds or full round combo moves but thats just my opinion.

That's good to know. I think I will go with the Super joystick, because I also REALLY like the old side scrolling "beat-em-up" type games (Golden Axe, Double Dragon, etc), and I couldn't imagine playing those kind of games with a joystick that has defined corners. I think the Super will be an overall beter joystick for my needs.

Based on what I've heard and read, what you just said sums it up for most people. The Super does seem to be the most versitle of the sticks.
