difference betwee HFS3 and HRAP3

Well, I own that particular stick and have played on my friend's HFS3. Believe me, there is no difference other than the artwork on the stick. The layout and distance between the buttons are exactly the same on both that SCIV one and the standard HFS3. I guess the artwork could make the buttons seem as if they are placed differently.
 
Maybe, the only stick i've owned was the one thats placed into my arcade machine in my garage. That stick is durable and feels perfect.
 
ShinobiBrown: When you say play on the inside do you mean having your layout something like this:
ABKx
Gxxx

Or do you mean something else?

Also I noticed that the main face buttons on a ps3 controller are to the left on the HRAP3.

So considering the differences listed here, I think I'll get the HFS3, and mod the buttons with sanwa buttons and get an octagon restrictor. Should I get a sanwa stick as well?

I wouldn't bother with a sanwa stick.

The restrictor takes maybe 7 min to get into a HFS3:
Unscrew the ~7 screws on the bottom of the HFS3.
Unscrew the 4 screws holding the Hori restrictor.
Remove Hori restrictor.
Get a drill and drill in 4 specific spots (already have holes, but not all the way through) in the Sanwa restrictor.
Put Sanwa restrictor ontop of the microswitches for the stick.
Screw the 4 screws in that held the Hori restrictor.
Screw in the ~7 screws on the bottom of the HFS3.

Done!

Buttons take a while.. Sanwas into the HFS3 require either using wires + duct tape on the bottom of the casing because your PCB will hang loose and the ends can contact the metal base plate, or cutting and bending the buttons' connectors to fit into the HFS3's PCB. Seimitsu buttons only require cutting, no bending, to fit into the HFS3's PCB.
