I'm very happy with the Virpil base for my Thrustmaster sticks. It works with the Cougar as well as Warthog. Thrustmaster is finally selling replacement bases for the Warthog but the Virpil base is much better.
I'm using the Thrustmaster TPR pedals. I like them a lot. The unit is huge but the design doesn't fill up with dust and the pedals are smooth, easy to move, and precise.
