I need a joystick recommendation

The JLF's are good - if you don't mind a bit of a microswitch clickity-clack when they shift around.
I would recommend the Utrastik 360's - they are essentially a heavily modified JLF if I'm not mistaken, and are butter smooth.
I have both, but P1 and P2 are Ultras.
Changing from 4 to 8 way requires access to the bottom of the sticks, but isn't difficult.

I ended up with the Sanwa JLW's. It did require some modifications to the X-arcade panel, but nothing some sandpaper and a grinder couldn't take care of! :laugh2:
I really like the feel of the stick, it's exactly what I was hoping for. Also, changing from 4 to 8 way is really easy, I have to keep a screwdriver in the cab, but the screws don't even have to come all the way out--just loosen and turn. I just got the sticks and new buttons installed, so it's looking sharp and already I've set a couple new high scores on some of my favorite games!
I posted a pic below, I still need to do some CP art for the panel to get rid of the X logo. The only thing left to do now is paint the new bolts on the joysticks and get the trackball lit up.
