Warthog stick for sure. Had mine what...about 7 years now, xero issues. Some have complained about it, but I havent seen what they whine about. If it died today, I would buy another.
If you are all about eyecandy, monitor.
If you want immersion and feeling like you are actually there then by all means VR.
I still gotta see both. Love VR but need to enjoy that eye candy now and then.
