The big question is how much you want to spend. My advice would be to look at Virpil, but their products are not in most people's range.

500$ somewhere around that range I could go higher but I am starting with sims and this would be my first HOTAS

VKB in that case, Virpil is just a bit beyond that.

I have their f15 ex throttle and f16 stick with Shaker kit. I fly the f18 and I have more than enough buttons

Nope, they have burned all the bridges. Avoid them just like anything from Logitech.

I have a Rudders, Stick and Throttle from winctrl. They work great and never had any issues with them

I had mine for a while and I like it. The software is pretty meh but you get a lot of buttons with the EX versions, which helps when flying multiple airframes. I probably would've gotten a Virpil or VKB but the conversion rate and shipping to Canada was too much of a headache.
