What joysticks do you prefer and why?

Well I'm a little dissapointed, the J-Sticks only come in Red. I guess I could paint one myself (I have a 1 Player Red, 2 Player Yellow setup).
Sasquatch!:
I have Wico ball-top leafswitched sticks as my 8-ways, and I love them. I don't care for the "discreet" cornering of most microswitched sticks, and the Wico leafswitches are very smooth. They suck as 4-ways though.
OSCAR:
My new favorite joystick is the Happ P360 (http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=6294;start=0) with 4" Wico balltop handles. This is an expensive route to go, but now that I've used them I won't use anything else. The Wico 8-way leafs are also good and I have used them in various projects, but they don't even compare to the feel and accuracy of the balltop on the Happ P360, IMO.
I have yet to try the J-Sticks, but I have only heard good things about those, too.

I just came accross this review of the Happ Super and Wico Leafswitch:

I've been using Happ Ultimates (not too happy with them) and X-Gaming sticks. I'd like a good ball-top stick thats available in black, but haven't come accross much yet. Thinking of trying some Wico microswitch sticks.
