Choosing a joystick. Your opinions?

Joysticks are like Pokémon.

I just run my U360 in analog mode and let Mame take care of the 4-way vs. 8-way mapping for me.  Very simple that way.  I just had to tweak the maps for a few games like Q-bert and Tron.

Dungeonsdeep:
Wow. It sounds like everyone likes a little bit of just about everything!

For some reason I'm leaning towards either the Magstick Plus, and second the Sanwa. I think I like the Magstick plus because of the ease of going between 4 and 8 way...But then again, do I really? This is my first build, so I have no clue!  :D

Again, thanks for all the suggestions. I promise to start posting build logs once I get the project on the move... I think you will all enjoy  >:D

IMHO the best thing to do if you are undecided is to just buy more than one.  The incremental cost of an extra joystick is usually very small compared to the cost of a typical build.  By trying out more than one joystick, you can make sure you pick something you are happy with.

There are occasional stories of people who haven't been happy with their joysticks and then swapping them out later.  But it's much more of a PITA to do that than to figure that out beforehand.
