Recommended Arcade Sticks?

I really want to try the eightarc sticks (eightarc.com)

Those sticks and the TE are pricey, though.

I played SCIV on a Hori EX2 with a JLF in it. I still have it somewhere around here..... Cost about $50 for the stick + parts. Been using the Madcatz TE for a while ($150).
 
What would you rate the following arcade fight sticks brands out there? Add more to this list if you know more than me.

Madcatz
Hori
Eightarc
 
I haven't tried the Eightarc/Qanba sticks, but there's no reason why they shouldn't be great. JLFs and OBSF30s for days and they'll be usable with the "silent" sticks that should be out soon (not too hype about that, but whatever - I know people have roommates/parents/etc).

Razer has an offering coming up - http://www.razerzone.com/bredtofight
The Hori EX2 with default parts is mediocre. My buttons stopped working and the springs in the stick softened up pretty quick in my SCIV Hori EX2. They're a pain to refit with new parts: requires some soldering, a couple of washers, a dremel and creative engineering... Overall, the ex2s are very light - which can be a pro or a con depending on what you're expecting.

Not a huge fan of MadCatz, but their TE sticks are #1 for right now.... at least until eightarc gets their shipments to be more reliable and Razer releases their offering.
