Which one has the better selection of games to play on? i have a supergun and have a neo geo hori fighting 2 sanwa which is perfect for mvs but i am really considering a st-v motherboard just for PRIIKURA DAISAKUSEN...
a mvs motherboard would be nice for pulstar,viewpoint,blazing stars, and srtikersplus

I'd go for the MVS. If you're into fighting games, then that's a no-brainer, but you also get run and guns, shmups, sports, puzzle games, action games. The MVS has a far better library than plenty of home consoles.
One warning though, collecting MVS carts can get really addicting because of the sheer variety of good and affordable carts. If you have a problem with buying more junk than you can afford stay away from the MVS.
Also, Neo Turf Masters alone is worth getting MVS for if you like playing 2 player games with your friends while getting trashed.

The answer to this question is very simple!
If you're a practical gamer, getting an ST-V is dumb. All of the good ST-V games have perfect Saturn ports which are smaller and nicer to play than the arcade versions.
The only reason to buy an ST-V is if you're attracted to the stark ruggedness of arcade hardware and somehow find it more interesting than soft, polished, consumer-oriented CDs. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The MVS, by contrast, has tons of really good games that you can't play anywhere else except MAME. There's really no excuse not to get one!

From a shmup perspective... I'd lean towards the Saturn / ST-V. Radiant Silvergun is enough reason. Neo MVS has a much better title selection than ST-V but as stated before the value concious type would go Saturn. BTW the Satourne emulator is supposedly close to supporting ST-V.

I've got a JAP Bios ST-V mobo & USA Bios MVS MV-1 mobo..
For a long time, I had a Sega ST-V RSG cart but no ST-V mobo to play it with...until one day, I won an auction for an original Japanese Bios ST-V mobo to play RSG with true 3-button arcade setup.
Was worth the wait to get a Japanese ST-V mobo (or you could get a USA Bios ST-V mobo modded with multi-bios chip to change from USA region to Japanese region via a flick of a simple switch).
(An original Japnese Bios ST-V mobo can't be modded with the multi-region chip though, works with USA Bios ST-V mobos only.)
The ST-V does output in stereo but you''d have to use an optional stereo cable adapter though.
It sometimes is a bitch to get the ST-V mobo to properly load up an ST-V cart...it usually takes me several tries of powering off & on to load up the respective ST-V cart.
Plus it's a known fact that the ST-V is very particular about getting it's "juice" to power it up...not enough "juice" and it'll freeze up in mid-gaming session. I've learned to plug in my Supergun into a regular A/C outlet to work properly (& not into a CPU surge protector as it'll cause my ST-V to start acting "bitchy").
If you want to play your Neo-Geo MVS games in stereo, then my suggestion is to go with the orginal Neo-Geo MVS MV-1 mobo as it outputs both in "mono" & "stereo". Playing Blazing Star MVS cart in true stereo is indeed a shmupper's paradise as opposed to playing it "mono" like on a smaller compact Neo-Geo MV-FZ1 mobo.
