What should I look for in joystick and buttons? I like tactile feed back.

Supers are the most game type neutral of the cheaper american style controls. They have a good feel, are quite balanced in diagonals vs. primary directions and have the circular movement pattern that many games need to play right. They aren't my favorite stick in the world, but out of the hundreds of machines I have owned I have never felt the need to switch out a super for something better.

Limit the control panel to 4 players, then have 2 additional usb controllers that can be used for those rare occasions.

But at least the comps or supers will save some money.

Cost is not a huge issue. I just didn't want people suggesting that I should buy 4 $80 joy sticks.
I was thinking preferably under $30s and I did not want to pay more for what I don't need. I am happy with all the recommendations.
Thanks to the great community here, I feel that I mush better understand what it is I am looking for and the trade offs.

I'll just second using Happ Comps.
I've got a couple of them and I'd say they tick all the boxes for you - they're cheap, great for fighters and beat'em ups, have a tactile feel, and have the feel of a '90s American arcade cab stick (I'm in Canada, but all our machines were either imported or copied from the US market ;)).
My one gripe about them is that they're kinda meh for genres outside of fighters and beat'em ups. I don't think there's any 8-way game where they would feel unplayable, but they're just not the greatest stick for say, puzzle games or shmups. If that doesn't bother you though, I highly recommend them.
