Funny that this should come up, I've been messing around with a lot of old joysticks lately, trying to find the best one. I've just bought a 'Beeshu Ultimate Superstick' off ebay; haven't tried it out yet but it looks to be a sweet stick. I would love to get my hands on a Tac-2, but I can't find one anywhere. I'll also probably get a Competition Pro pretty soon, and I have a Wico Command Control coming in the mail as well.
For the past few days I've been using an Epyx 500XJ (aka Konix Speedking), which is fairly precise. I find the diagonals are kind of hit-or-miss, though. I've also been using 'The Boss' ocassionally- pretty well engineered stick, but it has too much travel for most games. A Genesis/Megadrive joypad is always a nice choice for Amiga games as well, particularly for titles that use two fire buttons.
I never had much luck with the Slik Stik-- although it worked well, I found them to be too fragile. I must have broken 3 or 4 of those things back in the day, although I might have been playing Boot Camp/Combat School on the C64 at the time.
