Need help choosing a PC Flight Joystick

So with the upcoming release of Tom Clancy's HAWX game, which looks super sweet, I am going to have to find a nice joystick that will allow me to pwn Monkey Grill. I have seen a few on newegg.com and wondered if anyone that has experience with it could help me pick one. The options are below...
Saitek System
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102008
and if I got that then I would HAVE to get this too...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102003
or this other Saitek option...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102506
Logitech had a couple nice ones...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104049
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102203
and a wireless one that would be mighty nice...

P.S. If you've never heard of HAWX here are some videos showing what it is...

I have the Saitek X52 flight control set. Pretty sweet. Used it in a few games and really helpful in Flight Simulator.

I've been reading some reviews and everybody is saying that Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Forcefeedback 2 is the best joystick made ever.
P.S. Did you hear that MS has closed down the Flight Simulator division...they will not come out with another version ever again.

I have this one:

I like it. Not only does it go forward and backward, side to side, it twists, which controls your rudders.
And ALSO: If you are getting HAWX or plan to play any flight sim, get a joystick that has a twist handle.

Yeah I kinda liked that one Monkey...although MANY people are saying that it is very weak and made with shoddy quality. I don't want to buy a piece of junk that I will have to replace though.

I have it too and it works fine.
If you want, you can have it for $20.

Not a bad offer. How long have you had it Crunch? Anything wrong with it or is it mint?
