I prefer original hardware, but space can be an issue.

My dedicated games tend to be those with unique controls (ie, Qbert, Defender, racers (Pole Position, Turbo, Super Hang On), Operation Wolf, etc).

I'll eventually have some type of mame setup for the majority of generic joystick/button games for Horizontal/Vertical (ie. Zback cabinet restored to SF2, but with Mame inside, but I have a SF2 board anyway, just I like variety).

None of them will look like a multi-cade awful beast with 4 player controls, steering wheels, etc.   Have more cabinets with fewer controls on them.

That wicked retarded page is wicked retarded.

Just seems like he is spewing hate

What's up with all the hate?  If those machines work for them then that's all that should matter.

If space is an issue there´s nothing wrong with building an emulation cabinet, but people should at least have a sense for aesthetics and ergonomics.

I have never seen a bootleg pcb with a company logo and therefore i would say if your pcb has a Konami logo it is legit. Another good indicator for a bootlog are areas or daughter boards with off-the-shelf ICs that are often used to replace custom chips. Here is a pic my Gyruss bootleg pcb and you can clearly tell the differences:
