Default Best Joystick for FSX?

Title says it all.

I don't want to spend to much...Does anybody have recommendations?

How does this one compare? I have a relative that works at Best Buy so I should be able to get it cheaper.
They look nice, just expensive.

EDIT: I won't be playing FSX constantly, but when I do I want a joystick, so now that I think about it I'd rather not spend 100+ dollars on one. Maybe something like this?
Something in the 30-60 range would probably be better, but it depends how cheap I can get that other one from Best Buy.

Yea, I got that, I just didn't know how they compared in specs, I'll check out their website. Any comment on my edit in my previous post?

If you have ever tried FSX with a keyboard, you will know why, it's HORRIBLE. (for me at least) The response time is literally 7-10 seconds.
