Got the MS force feedback in 1997 and have not looked since then so I am way lost.

Looking for something good all around but open to specific task devices as well.

I just got the Saitek 3d Cyborg Gold USB joystick. It's got "beta" drivers for Windows 2000 that are very basic but which work perfectly. I chose the jstck over the MS Sidewinder Precision Pro because, frankly, the Saitek stick looked better manufactured and had more buttons and options. Frankly, I'm very glad I got the Saitek over the Sidewinder, despite the limited Win2k drivers.

check out the reviews here. Look in "etc" or "other", can't remember. They have a round up of various gamepads.
