Where to buy the last few pieces?

I am in the midst of my first build. On my control panel, I want to go with the seemingly standard layout of 2 8 ways with 6 buttons each, trackball, spinner, and a 4 way joystick. I have my 8 ways and buttons, but I'm still needing to order a trackball, spinner, and 4 way joystick.
I know I would like to have a trackball with a USB interface.
I want a 4 way joystick with 4 way action (like donkey kong, pacman, etc).
I haven't researched spinners yet. I'm assuming you can get a USB option for it as well without havnig to get an Optipac type interface.
I looked a Happ controls and their prices seem outrageous. I also checked out Groovy Gear which I found by searching the forums. Their prices seem much more reasonable. However, I'm confused on their joysticks. They say they have 4 or 8 way action, but does that mean that it restricts the movement to 4 ways instead of the full 8 or just the functionality of the stick?
I like the looks of the Electric ICE-T trackball
I assume the Turbo Twist 2 spinner is OK too?
Which joystick would you recommend from GGG with 4 way action?
Would I be better off dealing with someone else than GGG? They seem to get good reviews from people on this board and that's why I looked up their inventory.
