I am in a dilemma, which buttons should I get?
Sanwa or Semitsu?
Screw Ins or Snap Ins?
Should I get the clear top or not? (this question I can answer myself eventually.)
What are you gentlemen/ladies getting or got and why?
Some say this is a user preference...
Some say Sanwa is MORE sensitive then Semitsu (Not sure how true is this)
Thanks

Sanwa for me. I'm not sure what it is for you. It really is personal preference. Sanwa buttons are very sensitive, and only need a light touch to activate. I love it for that, and they feel great. Seimitsu's are also pretty sensitive and have somewhat more of a 'clicky' feel. There's also the advantage that Seimitsu buttons have transparent/translucent variants that look great.
As for snap-ins or screw-on's, it depends on the case you're using.
As for Happ parts, I don't mind them either. They're great for people who hammer the hell out of their buttons, but they need a big case to fit. (if you go custom, you most likely won't have a problem with that)

I'd go for the screw in's. Unless your 100% sure your panel is going to be perfect the screw in's allow for a larger degree of error. Happ is cheap but their parts are bigger than their Japanese counterparts, so make sure you have the clearance for them.
