The Extreme 3D and and Attack 3 are both good entry level sticks. I'm using a single monitor setup with TrackIR and the Saitek X52. I would love to get the X55 at some point.
Most of the time i focus on DCS World (Flanker) and BMS Falcon. Both do require some time to learn, especially avionics and missiles/weapon systems to a degree.
I'll load up ED once in a while when i'm in the mood.
