4. Buttons. Are NEO GEO games the only ones that require 7 buttons per person or are there any MAME games that do? Don't need a list, just debating between 6 & 7 per player.

Combo layout for SF games and Neo Geo is
ABC
123
4
SF uses ABC and 123. Top is punch, bottom is kick. Neo Geo has a spread-out pattern and uses 4123 in that order. Some people will use 1ABC (in that order) instead of installing that extra button.

I'm curious about your comments here. In NeoGeo games the buttons are labeled A,B,C,D. Are you saying that button 4 in your layout would be the D button or the A button?
Thanks.

The extra buttons for players 3 and 4 are usually for console emulation. If you don't plan to emulate anything higher than an NES, then 4 buttons is sufficient for 3&4. If you want some 4-player PSOne action or something, you'll need some extra buttons. You should be very safe with 4 for those, and in fact could even go the controller route for those depending on how often you plan to play with 3 other people simultaneously.
And as the others have stated, the 7th button is for emulating a Neo Geo layout, and that button is usually shared with the top left button, so it would look kind of like this:
123 or 456
456 123
1 4

Do a showcase cabinet. It will be better for the 36" inch screen.

That's part of the thing I'm try ing to work out. We've got two large monitors lying around that we believe would work well but at the same time I'm trying to avoid doing a setup that's quite that deep. One of the monitors is 30" wide, the other 37". I haven't measured their actual size yet, these numbers are just their widths. Assuming the tests work we're going to use the smaller of the two for the cabinet and use the other one for another project going on. I've been told that the larger monitor has been tested with a variety of games under MAME and it worked pretty nicely. I just need to make sure the smaller one does the same and then see just how far we need to be away from it to be comfortable to make final decisions on cabinet size. I'm hoping to keep to a guantlet style upright setup for space though. We'll see how successful I am at that next week.

123 BCD
BCD - OR- A23
A
Those are the two layouts I've seen for NeoGeo when using a non-NeoGeo cab.
