What Brand Joystick/Pushbuttons are in your Candy Cabs?

Just wondering if people have preferences to the different types. I know the big 2 are Sanwa and Seimitsu. I guess it depends on the games? I hear a lot of peeps like the Sanwa sticks (JLW-TM-8) and pushbuttons for fighting games. But a good all-round stick for games is the Seimitsu LS-32 and their pushbuttons are better for shooters?

What do you use/prefer and why?

I've got Sanwa sticks and buttons in my cabs. They work great, but I don't have anything to compare them to other than Happs. JLW-TM-8's and I mostly play fighting games. I like the convex button feel of Sanwa buttons, again only Happs to compare them to. Haven't played Seimitsu's, would be curious to see if they feel any better than Sanwa.

I use Sanwa because thats the stock stick designed for my Candy Cab. I would never mod or change the control panel for a stick. Unless I get U.S. cab.

Agreed. However the stock stick on my SuperNeo 29 is the Seimitsu LS-40. Reading threads the LS-40 is is similar to the Seimitsu LS-32 just of lesser quality. The LS-32 supposdly has more spring and built better. Most of my experience is with US cabinets and Happs. I would never bastardize the CP on my SuperNeo 29, but switching out the joystick/pushbuttons for better ones is an option. Of course I'll be using Sanwa or Seimitsu parts

I've used both Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks and buttons. Sanwa is preferred for fighters, as the sticks are a little looser for quick throws of the stick for complicated fighting moves. Their buttons also take less pressure to depress (also good for fighters).

Seimitsu sticks/buttons are a little more stiff for all around arcade play and shooters in general. You want a stiffer stick for mitigating all those obstacles in shooters; and you don't want to accidentally drop bombs on crap by brushing a button.
