Consider the Thrustmaster Topgun Afterburner joystick/throttle system. Under $60 retail. Twisty stick or rocker on throttle. Works well. See attached image below.

Yes, Thrustmaster Afterburner is a very good stick for the money, I got one in Sept.   Even though it runs about $59-60, I have seen just the stick on sale (with out the throttle/rudder control) at Fry's Electronics for $10

I swear by my Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro...not the PP@ but the precision pro version.  I have 3 of them. (Sim addict that has taken them all over the world).  As for sensitivity, I dont find that it is too sensitive at all.  You can adjust your stick settings in Setup off the clipboard to help.

My 2 cents :)

The problem with the Top Gun Afterburner is that its a SERIAL stick.

Aka, in a few months it will be spiking like bush's throat when he met "the" pretzel.

Get USB, they are very good. I have MS FF2 Pro and I swear by it, its an excellent stick (MS? good? MIRACLE!).

Latest Afterburner is USB, mine certainly is.

I swear by my Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB stick.  It configures for lefties or righties, has a twist rudder (nice if you don't want to go for pedals, and its very comfortable.  Just my suggestion.

Cyborg is also cheaper than the MS stick

Not a perfect stick out there...

I would love to find a stick with lots of buttons where you can reach them easily and a separate throttle and joystick control but I haven't found it yet.
The best I have seen is the Saitek- I use the X36 but I believe it is upgraded now.  It has the most buttons for functions, a rudder control (I hate the twisty things) , throttle and  separate joystick.  It could be better but I think it has the most functionality out there now. :)
