Guys in your Mame games say like Cameltry, Arkanoid, Crystal Castles, Marble Madness, Centipede, etc...

You know where it will say X-Axis = say like Mouse 1 (for usb trackball/usb spinner)...So I set that...Now do I also need to set the X-inc and the X-dec also the Y-inc or Y-dec to match???

I have not played many of the classics and when I don't do the inc or the dec things seem slower in the movement for my trackball and spinner.

You know what I'm saying? Do you guys set your trackball and spinner that way for games.  Not only telling it the analog control you use, but also telling it the x-axis inc and the x-axis dec of the certain games you play?

Nope....
the INC/DEC inputs are "fake" inputs for hooking analog controls to a digital joystick.  If y axis = mouse 1 yaxis and x axis = mouse1 xaxis then you are good to go.

They seem slower because they are hooked up correctly the other way.  ;)  You can adjust the sensitivity and thus the speed in the "analog controls" section of mame's in-game menu.  Because each machine had slightly different hardware, you'll want to tweak every game a little to get things just right.
