I tried searching the 1400+ post thread but gave up after a hour.

I just ordered some boards since DKII is now out. What is the best layout for joystick(s) or buttons that some of you have found that work well or something you would change. I am planning on doing a vertical cab first but a horizontal cab later.

2 Joysticks 4 buttons in a normal layout or do some of the game require more(besides stargate and defender)

49 way joystick in the center with mirrored pair of fire buttons on each side. I built two this way, one in horizontal mode, one in vertical.

It supports so many different games it ends up being like a mame cabinet, either you build a frankenpanel or you can't play half the games.
 
I am going the way of the Centiped panel, trackball on the right buttons in the middle and a single joystick on the left, Rich sells a pretty sweet CP overlay that supports this look and don't look to gawdy.
