Which Joystick?

I'm hoping to start playing some Descent again soon, but I have a problem - I need a new joystick! I have a Precision Pro 2, but it seems to be broken. What's a good recommendation for a new stick? Sure the 3DPro is ideal, but since I'm using my Apple iBook, it has to be USB. I haven't been keeping up with joystick technology in the past eight years or so, so if anyone has some ideas I would appreciate it!

I started playing Descent on CH products. Anything else seemed flimsy and limpwrist. :oops: So, my personal recommendation is the CH F-16 COMBATSTICK: http://tinyurl.com/cdkab2

I have three of these. Two are gameport, the third one I just bought is USB :)

Saitek X52 works great for me. I use the mouse stick on the throttle for sliding.
