Happ Competition
Paradise Led Joystick

Thanks for the responses in advance

mgb:
Its really a matter of taste, what games you plan on playing and what's your budget.
For 8 way games, I like competitions.

starwarsfan54321:
The main games i will be playing are-
Street Fighter and other fighting games
194X Series
Pacman
Galaga
Donkey Kong Jr
Donkey Kong
Gaplus etc.
The budget just needs to be under $40 for two joysticks

I would consider any of these 3
all arcade production sticks (used in actual machines)
all are good all rounders each with a unique selling point:

Sanwa JLF - best for fighting games, esp street fighter

Sanwa JLW - maybe the best all rounder with easy to switch 4/8 way - very good feel for 4 way games

Seimitsu LS32 - my preferred stick, excellent for shmups and games that require precise movements - comes with a 3 way gate (2 way 4 way and 8 way)

Not sure if they fit quite within your budget, but much better to have a quality product than regret skimping later on.

BobA:
I would not use a Mag Stick Plus on a CP used for fighters.  It is a great switchable joystick but I do not think you would be happy with the feel of it for playing fighters.  I would get 2 8 ways of any type you are comfortable with and a dedicated 4 way for your classic games.
