Hardware & Technical Joystick/HOTAS for ED and Star Citizen

Hi! I reintroduced myself to the simulation genre about 24 hours ago when I purchased ED. My plan was to dust off an old relic from my Falcon 4.0 days, a MS Sidewinder Force Feedback. What I had failed to check before purchasing ED was if gameport was still a thing on my motherboard, which it wasn't. So I need a new joystick(Or adapter?). I checked the physical stores in my area and they only have 5 available models between them(Listed below) and since I've been gone from the simulation genre for over 12 years I haven't got a clue what to look for anymore. Could anyone with a bit of knowledge and perhaps hands-on experience help me decide on one of these five candidates?


PHANTOM HAWK Flight stick


Cyborg V.1 Flight Stick


Mad Catz® F.L.Y. 5


Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Precision


T.Flight Hotas X

if you absolutely can't recommend any of the listed sticks feel free to point me towards another model within or around the same price range.
 
I would stay away from the Hotas X it is sold cheap for a reason, the thrustmaster T16000m how ever is not to expensive and as accurate as a CH stick and using the same hall sensors the warthog uses.

Have a look at this:
