What's the best choice? Logitech Formula Force Wheel?
MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel? Or another one!
Please give me some help.

Thanks

Check out some reviews that say the ActLabs RS Force wheel is worth
considering too at http://www.actlab.com/race1_reviews.htm

I've heard the Act Labs Force RS is an excellent wheel and pedal
combo.

There is only one choice, Extreme Competition Controls.  I have two and any
sim driver shouldn't be without at least one.

I'm a happy owner of the Act Labs Force RS, and I would highly recommend it.
I've heard that the Logitech Formula Force is the best in it's own right,
with many saying it is the most precise, has the best feel, etc. But, it
also costs more.  The Force RS has a high end feel, but one of the lowest
prices.  Figure it out yourself.  (Although I wasn't altogether thrilled
when I found out the wheel is almost impossible to get outside the Act Labs
Online store.)

I just purchased the ACT LABS Force RS. Here are some of the features I
discovered within the first day:

Solid feel to wheel base and pedal unit. Both are relatively heavy to
prevent moving.
Excellent desk clamping system
Split axis pedals with the click of a button
Strong FF effects
Can also work with Playstation or N64 with purchase of a $20 cartridge
"Leather" wheel cover

 The extreme looks really cool . Do you have the 3rd pedal clutch Model?

non ff get the Thrustmaster nascar pro, it was selling for over $120 but is now
on sale after rebates for only $29!! it's not the best but is welll worth the
money.

I don't think anybody can tell you what the BEST wheel to buy is -- that
largely depends on your budget.  I personally use a TSW2 most of the time,
and I tend to prefer a high-end non-Force Feedback wheel over a Force
Feedback wheel, but there are some great wheels (including those with Force
Feedback and without) scattered across the entire price spectrum.  If you'd
like to check out a few reviews, try this as a starting point:
