It depends on your budget. The T2 goes for about $100. If you use it
everyday, it will require frequent maintenance (pots, springs, etc).
The maintenance isn't difficult and you can get free parts from
Thrustmaster. The TWS goes for about $275 + shipping. Its a much more
solid unit and will require periodic pot replacement. The ECCI costs
about $500 and will probably not require much maintenance at all.
Those are pretty much your options. I have been using a T2 for about 4
months and have had to replace the pots once. But the wheel feels like
it has lost its "feel". Currently I'm on the waiting list for a TSW.
Good Luck!

i bought the ecc wheel last year and it is superbly built, requires no
maintenance, and i use it practically everyday (up to last week or so).

The only 'maintenance' I'm going to be doing on it is applying a
couple of upgrade kits that ECCI kindly sent me. These alter the
stiffness of the gas pedal, dampen the slight springy noise that is
possible (I have this on my brake pedal), and allow for a selectable,
alternative input mechanism (more details once I study the
instructions!). They continue to improve the CDS, and I can upgrade
mine to the latest spec. Excellent.
