I am considering between these two gamepads, which one would you pick?

The rumblepad has rumble but the other one looks more comfortable.  I
can't make up my mind

I can't access the links you've posted, but if one of the devices above is a
Logitech Wingman Rumblepad then I can't fault this pad for user experience,
it's comfortable and works well but I have reservations about two aspects of
the build - namely the blue plastic 'drawing pins' which form part of the
analogue controllers.
This is my second pad after the plastic elements snapped on the first,
effectively these components are not an integral part of the build, simply
two plastic pegs plonked on top of two metal protrusions and easilt the
weakest part of the pad. The Cordless version may have addressed this
weakness.

Looking at the Logitech site, I see they are promoting a 'Rumblepad 2',
whick looks a lot like the Dualshock 2 favoured by Playstation users. Have
you considered buying a Dualshock2 pad and 'PS to USB' converter?

Ok I bought the Rumblepad 2 (not cordless)  and its usb.  It seems
pretty sweet except I can't feel the rumble in Richard Burns Rally.  It
says forcefeedback is enabled and when I go to test it says your
steering wheel should move to the left.  But I don't have a steering
wheel, so is forcefeedback not supported for the rumblepad2 only for
wheels?  What a shame and this game is plastered with the logitech
logo.  Also I can't get it to rumble for Xpand Rally.  But in the Win
XP configuration when I press buttons it rumbles.

Nope, you don't have any problems its just that FF does not work with
any gamepads or joysticks in RBR. :(
