Also, do not just think "Mame" .... there are many other consoles out there whicih are being emulated which would need to joysticks per player (thumb stick and directional pad lets say).

The only problem with this is most joysticks are horrible as thumbsticks/analog sticks. They do not work well at all for any game that does not have a decidedly "arcadey" feel that doesn't need the sensitivity of the stick.
I wouldn't put this idea into your head when making the decision unless you decided to hack 4 analog sticks.

I am starting my cab this weekend hopefully if I can make some room in the garage to work. I love the oldschool 4 player games like TMNT, X-Men, Sunset Riders, and Simpsons. Saturday Night Slam Masters is a good one too, just cause I like Haggar. Anyways I am only going two joysticks cause I don't know if I will ever get 4 of us together at the same time. But what I am planning on doing is making some front USBs on the front of the control panel, and I will have two extra Xbox 360 wired controllers for the third and 4th player. They will have 8 buttons total. A, B, X, Y, LB, RB (ALL ACTION BUTTONS). The two trigger buttons will be credit button and start buttons. I will have those for the other people that come over.

I think that's only true with the newer console emulators with analog gamepads like Nintendo 64, PSX, etc. You're right, they suck with digital arcade controls. However, most of the older classic consoles like NES, SNES, Genesis, Colecovision, Atari 2600/5200/7800 work superbly with arcade controls IMO. Much better than a crappy D-pad anyway.
