And how tough would it be to swtich out one of the sticks with a 4-way?

There is also the OmniStik prodigy from www.groovygamegear.com which is 4/8 way switchable from above the panel.

StephenH:
The HotRod controller is good.  You can build a cab, and in fact even mount it into the cab if you wanted to.   Additionally, there is a way to switch the joysticks to 4-way if needed, although I did not find it hard to play pac-man in the 8-way mode!

As for trackballs, spinners, and the like, you need to buy those separately.  There is however, interfaces that can make a trackball act as a mouse input, and a spinner as a mouse axis, game port axis, or USB game control axis.
