saitek x36 stick/throttle here plus CH pedals hooked up with an analog driving wheel. Works very well, very programmable, although programming interface is non-intuitive and game-based rather than stick-program based so it's not trivial to create a program, load it to the stick, and force it to stay there. After I get it working though, it's very nice, reasonably durable, and has tons of buttons, hats, knobs, etc. to program.
I switched from a CH setup to this and haven't wanted to switch back except on the rare occasions when I have to mess with the stick programming, but I get over that soon enough. One of the best features (IMHO) of AH is the stick config and keymapper settings. You can mix/match anything and get it to work under AH as long as it's recognized by windows. AH was the first game I ever used that had this level of flexibility and usability. Custom sensitivity, deadbands, etc etc. is all well beyond almost all other games.
