Another shmup stick debate

Sorry, Hibachi, but the making of the stick was very difficult for me and a good friend that helped me, so we won't make another one.

It has a PS2 plug, so I can't use it to play my copy of Death Smiles for the Asian 360, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make another stick.

Sorry.

Well if we cant get a Suzo mounted, whats the next best bet? LS-32?. You know i cant have a different stick for all occasions, what would you guys suggest as the best stick for all around play? Street Fighter, shmups, ect.?

Also are there any Magstik owners that can give an opinion? Retroblast has a review but i want to hear from a member of these forums.

I'd recommend LS-32, but I never play fighters. So depending on the ratio of playtime on other stuff than shmups, that's how I would choose. 70% or more, get the LS-32, if 50/50, perhaps Sanwa JLF is a better choice.

Here you can see how we mounted it in a wooden box (look specially at the second pic):
