That's a great site by Tiger-Heli full of loads of information that you can read if you've got the odd day or two to spare.....

The real answer to his question would be..... "It's your choice at the end of the day"

IMHO Randy T's Groovy Game Gear interfaces offer the most bangs for the buck... No question about that.  For two joysticks plus six buttons each plus dedicated coin drops and player start buttons. You really can't beat the KeyWiz Eco. At $20 a piece they're a damned bargain for 32 dedicated inputs.
