What is a good joystick

I've got an old Saitek X45 that I really like.
A few years ago I was really heavy into online flight simming, and this joystick got a lot of use. I started looking at hte next stick up from this one, the X52 & X52 Pro, but couldnt justify spending the money when my X45 worked just fine. I then got out of simming for various reasons.
About the time I stopped simming, I think the X65 was coming out, and just taking a quick look, it looks like they've added more goodies to the X65 since I saw it last.
Unfortunately I've been out of it long enough that I cant really give any input on whats good or available now.

I always liked the Thrustmasters but I haven't even looked at how they have evolved today. I got a set of HOTAS Cougar around here somewheres.

My Saitek X-45 is a HOTAS, and it is absolutely the way to go for simming. I've never tried separate pedals, but my Saitek has rudder controls build into the throttle. W/ the advent of double throttles now, I'm not sure how rudder control is worked out. The X52 has a single throttle, but I know the X65 is double throttle, and the Thrustmaster throttle that was brought out when DCS:A10 was released is also a double throttle.
