i've been happy with masssytems sticks and superguns since i got into mvs.
not necessarily "the best" out there, but definitely quality work. had two different setups, one a hand-me-down from a friend, and another custom built for neo. also ordered a dreamcast mas stick waay back in the day.
my current sticks are p360s (optical) and convex buttons. i'm quite happy with the setup and expect it to last for a long time. they will pretty much let you choose the button layout, colors, etc.

The funny thing is that MAS sticks are just off the shelf in terms of parts. And the layout is nothing special. My guess is that the only reason everyone prefers them is that you can actually get sticks made to your liking. Ain't many joystick vendors out there, especially ones that do it custom for you and use high quality parts.
That said, I think if another vendor came around and made nicer looking sticks they'd make a fortune.

Real Arcade Pro is the best I've used. Japanese stick/buttons.
I liked the MAS sticks a lot, though, because they were so big it felt like I was actually playing an arcade machine (a US machine, anyway).
