If you search there are a few threads were people discuss this. I find ign helpful:
http://dreamcast.ign.com/
Reviews, screenshots, etc.
All the arcade ports are great - Daytona, San Fransico Rush, Capcom vs SnK 1&2, Street Fighter III, etc
Other good games: Shenmue, Looney Tunes Space Race, Re-volt, Jet grind radio, Ms Pac-man(wifes favorite), Legacy of Kain

Is there a list of arcade ports for the DC?

I've found a few 'recommended games' lists but I'm only interested in arcade ports (for the moment).  I've got a bunch of them already, but I don't yet have any shooters or Japan only games.

Although I haven't seen a definitive list of Dreamcast Naomi ports, I'm sure you can get a list of Naomi1 and Naomi2 games, and compare to a comprehensive DC list.

As for a list of shooters, here is my definitive list  ;D. I have all but Twinkle Star Sprites (not to interested in that one) and of course the two new ones coming out later this year.  An "*" indicates vertical monitor support.  I'll try to list them in release date order, with oldest first.

GigaWing
Twinkle Star Sprites
Mars Matrix
GunBird 2*
GigaWing2
Zero Gunner 2
Ikaruga (import)*
Psyvariar 2 (import)*
Shikigami Noshiro 2 (import)*
Border Down (import)
Chaos Field (import)
Trizeal (import)* - Unreleased - due out 4/7/05
Senko no Ronde (import) - Unreleased - due around October 2005

Thanks :)  I'll probably not bother with the ones already in MAME but the import ones in particular I'd like to get.

If I get some spare time I'll try to make a list of DC arcade ports using the method you described.

Others:

But I'm still playing Mr Driller 95% of the time... :)
