New to mame - guidance needed

I am just trying to set this up. I am not sure as newb what is the best version of mame to use. Basically I want Robotron, Joust, Dender, Donkey Kong and the pacman games. I am also looking for advice on a reasonably priced arcade style controller with multiple buttons and two joysticks for Joust. 

MAME is for arcade emulation, it is command line emulator. There are frontends available to it but yeah you have to decide yourself how you want to "start" a game ;-)

If you do a search you will find information  and "how to" documentation for MAME. You can also use my guide as a start (mameguide.info),, yeah I know a little outdated but a lot of topics are covered.......
