6, 7 or 8 Buttons
Visitor Q:
I am not so much worried anymore about the neo geo layout as I have an x-arcade currently and always fine myself just using the top 3 buttons and then the 4th one for neo games.
I do want to emulate PSX games but only ones that would play well with this sort of setup, otherwise I will just use an xbox controller or something.

I do the same exact thing (use the TOP three buttons - it seemed more comfortable than using the bottom row). And yes, for that occasional Neo-Geo game that utilizes all four buttons, the bottom-left one acts as the "D".
Visitor Q:
This is a short list I made up of the emualtors I have installed currently and how many buttons they use, feel free to add to the list or correct any mistakes.
None of these include start or select buttons. I did not include any arcade emulation as most all of it tops out at 6 buttons.
PSX =8
3DO = 5
Turbo = 6
NES = 2
SNES = 6
Dreamcast = 6
N64 = 9
2600 = 1
Master System = 2
Genisis = 6

Some of those systems use analog controls. If you aren't going with an analog controller, you may consider just using a game pad (XBox 360 controller or N64 with adaptoid for example) instead of putting more buttons on your control panel.
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.

Sega Genesis / Megadrive had six later on.
