Since you have your list of emulators, figure out HOW you want to play first (either joys with buttons or game pad).  I think that will tell you what you need.

Well I plan on U360 controllers.

I think he was suggesting that you get an actual xbox or n64 or psx gamepad instead of having to have 8+ buttons for each player, if you wanted to do those console games. Plus having the actual controller for the console games helps.
I have a couple snes controllers for playing nes and snes games, and it helps a lot to bring back memories :)

Turnarcades:
6 covers most bases, as coin and start buttons can be utilised in consoles like SNES as select and start. I've never liked the 7-button arrangement as it looks random. For N64 you can assign the most popular buttons on P1's side and add a few on P2's side if you need to. For Playstation emulation, games rarely used all 8 buttons and you can usually re-map in-game if you need to.

I think I may just get 6 then.  :dunno

I like the neo geo layout and all but I don't like that it uses the buttom row to do it. Like I said, I currently have an x-arcade with 6 buttons and I never use the buttom for neo geo, I always just use the top 3 and then button 4.
