Not the Thrustmaster one ... it sucks.

Microsoft ... average wheel with strong effects.

Logitech ... not quite as strong effects but superb wheel (effects are
plenty strong enough with GPL 1.1). Some have complained that the
pedal travel is too short, I don't have a problem with it (don't drive
with my shoes on).

Act Labs RS ... very strong forces, some of complained about "notchy"
pedals.

I say the ActLabs I have the USB version and it is great, plus check out the
upcoming shifter
to go with it at the web site.

FWIW, I find that the pedals on my non-FF Act Labs RS wheel are
superb.  They do have a bit too much friction/stiction, but I think a
little grease or fix that.  All in all, the ACT Labs pedals are some
of the best plastic pedals I've tried.
