Here is one method that dispenses with both ListPlot and Manipulate and
builds the graphic directly. The routine, element, defines how each value
will be represented.

v1 = Table[Random[], {50}];
v2 = Table[Random[], {50}];
element[points_][i_] :=
  Module[{val = Part[points, i], color, marker},
   If[val >= 0,
    color = Green; marker = Style["+", Medium],
    color = Red; marker = Style["-", Medium]];
   {color, Line[{{i, 0}, {i, val}}], Black, Text[marker, {i, val}]}];

Module[
 {a = .0, b = .0,
  pointvals, calcAll, i},
 
 calcAll[c1_, c2_] := (pointvals = c1 v1 + c2 v2);
 calcAll[a, b];
 
 Column[
  {Row[{"Param 1 ", 
     Slider[Dynamic[a, (a = #; calcAll[a, b]) &], {-.1, .1, .01}, 
      Appearance -> "Labeled"]}],
   Row[{"Param 2 ", 
     Slider[Dynamic[b, (b = #; calcAll[a, b]) &], {-.1, .1, .01}, 
      Appearance -> "Labeled"]}],
   Dynamic@
    Graphics[{
      Table[element[pointvals][i], {i, 1, 50}]},
     AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio,
     Axes -> True,
     PlotRange -> {-.15, .15},
     ImageSize -> 450]}](* Column *)
 ]

Here is some sample code that uses Manipulate with ListPlot
v1 = Table[Random[], {50}];
v2 = Table[Random[], {50}];
fn[a_, b_] := a v1 + b v2
f[n_] := If[n >= 0, "+", "-"]
Manipulate[
 ListPlot[fn[a, b], Filling -> Axis, PlotRange -> {-.15, .15},
  PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, Medium},
  FillingStyle -> {Red, Green}], {{a, 0, "Param 1"}, -.1, .1, .01,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{b, 0, "Param 2"}, -.1, .1, .01,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}]

I would like to do things with the markers {color differently when positive,
change to "+" when positive, use labels rather than "dots", ...}

Is this possible?  Are there some simple examples of this.  Have not been
able to find in the documentation.
