Quickshot 2 turbo. Classic controller might have to scour ebay for one.
So you are looking for an arcade stick and not a joystick. Check the lioncast arcade.
Quality arcade sticks are expensive. If you think about SF or Tekken seriously, you need something like a Razer Panthera, Qanba Obsidian or a Hori RAP4 Kai (this one has the best price-quality ratio according to many people).
It also depends on whether you want a Japanese or a Korean stick, they're quite different.
I'm using the PS4 pad v2 as I feel comfortable with it and couldn't justify the expense.

If you want a quality 'joystick' for fighting games, you are not going to get one for £40.
The last time I looked, I only really looked at a Madcatz Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Fightstick. Bit of a vid here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDdG6QptBos

Not sure about prices atm but every now and then there are deals on for madcatz sticks & HORI sticks.
I have a HORI fightstick 3 which I bought for £25
I later replaced the buttons & stick with sanwa parts but it was fine for playing SF3 + SF4 on PC & PS3 before replacing the parts.

I wanted a stick for a few of the old arcade games really, reckon it would be more fun (emus and Steam remakes etc). I thought why not choose one with 6 buttons for Streetfighter etc.
Plenty to think about here. I used to play Streetfighter years ago to a decent level. Went to Capcom tournaments and travelled up to the main hang outs in London.
Anyways, it seems that if you want to play "properly" you need to spend a few quid (for Streetfighter).
Although saying that mortals idea seems decent. And I may check out the Lioncast one. The others are out of my price range for what I want tbh
Cheers for the info.
