Hello, scoggy7. To state what is the best joystick (that satisfies your personal need), you have to try several models and make your own decision. As RAF_Leigh said, each virtual pilot has his own preferences, and it's no use to argue with each other. So, if it's possible, I would recommend go to the shop and take one model (X52, for example) for just one day test (with moneyback guarantee). If you would like it -- just keep it. If not -- return it back and try smth. else...

As for X52 -- I've heard several absolutely opposite opinions about it: some are crazy for it, others say it's awful...

Good luck making a right choice, mate.

P.S.: As for me, I'm awfully sorry I didn't managed to get a MSW FF 2 (USB) (which seem to be, perhaps, the best joystick with FF effects ever produced)...
So, if you interested, my joystick using history is this:
1. Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro USB.
2. Cyborg 3D Force Stick.
3. Saitek X45.
4. Cyborg evo Force Feedback + X45 throttle.
5. CH Full Setup (Throttle+Pedals+Fighterstick).
