From the Super Nes and newer consoles you will continually bump into the problem that many of the games don't play well on arcade controls. The Snes introduced shoulder buttons that are often used in a directional fashion,

Hate to bump heads on this with you again, but more "arcadey" games on SNES work fine with arcade controls than you give credit. Tons of side scrolling beatem ups : Final Fight 2 & 3, Brawl Brothers, Rival Turf, The Power Rangers games (at least 2 I remember) , The Spiderman games, etc. You also have quite a few console only fighting games like  the ClayFighter series, TMNT Fighting game,  Battle Blaze, Ranma, ShaqFu (lol, jk that game sucks though slightly better on genesis), and Weapon Lord. To me theres a ton of side scrollers that work well with arcade controls, the Aero games, Super Adventure Island, Kirby, EWJ, and even Bubsy.

Yes agreed there are tons that work fine. The Snes is just where the problem starts, most of those titles are still fine, it gets worse and worse with each console after the snes. Since the original poster is contemplating PC hardware required to emulate newer consoles (those well into the dual analog double shoulder button danger zone), then it is a very legitimate thing to consider. A Snes emulator will run on anything a Playstation 2 emulator will not. Just don't want the poster to drop serious cash in order to emulate newer consoles only to find that all his favorite games had ludicrous control schemes unplayable on an arcade panel.

Also, buy your PC dead last, do absolutely everything else, then buy your computers. Far too many builders have made the mistake of spending some real cash on a decent rig, only to end up taking 2 or 3 years to complete their projects.

This I can agree with, even if it takes you 6 months between building the cab and buying the PC for it, you can get a better PC for the same cost. This doesnt apply if you're like me and just slumming together parts though :)
