I've used a Saitek X36 and owned a number of Cougars ( 4 in total due to them failing, and failing in area's that could not be cured by any of the mods available) and ended up returning to CH Products USB sticks as I'd had a good experience with their gameport sticks. I now run a community site for CH users which Rugbutt linked to above, there are a number of Lock On players there who have been very helpful by sharing their Lock On profiles and their knowledge of CH gear with new users.
