I was hoping to get a HRAP 2.0 but since no one has them, I settled for the HRAP 1.0. Like the fellow mentioned earlier, this is the second version of the HRAP which does away with the mirrored plate on the top which was easily scratched. I've heard of people covering their mirrored plates on the original HRAPv1 with a thin sheet of plastic to avoid scratching which may work but the new HRAP doesn't scratch or mar as easily. The mounting plate has also changed so be aware that you will not be able to mod the stick easily if you're trying to mount something else on there. Anyway, the joystick on this thing is an authentic Sanwa ball stick but the buttons are Hori and can be removed if you're interested in replacing them. The quality is great and it feels substantially better than the sticks I've gotten from Sammy and ASCII.
I use the Xselect with a DVD player and a Gamecube so I don't use all of the ports but its good to know that if I get another system in the future it will support it. I have no complaints about the sharp picture on my monitor and it is great to be able to watch a movie on a VGA monitor instead of a TV. It is an incredible difference.
