Long time casual flyer here, currently using CH Product's Flightstick Pro, Pro Pedals, and Saitek's Throttle quadrant. Both of my CH controllers are the old gameport versions, they're plugged via a pair of gameport to USB converters. Hook mentioned above that the CH pro pedals can be used with driving sims, the opposite might be true as well. If you already have a pedal set from a driving controller, you might try using them at first. A three pedal set should give you rudder control and brakes. You wouldn't have differential brakes, but you would be able to both stop the plane and hold it in place when you need to. One more suggestion: Before spending money on controllers, read through the hardware forum and get a feel for the pros and cons of the various brands.
