Alrighty, the first and last joystick I ever owned was the Sidewinder that came bundled with MechWarrior 3. I loved it though (game and joystick) and would love to find something comparable. I stopped by Best Buy today (it was convenient for me) and found the Logitech 3d Pro and the Cyborg X. Both looked neat and featured the rudder twisting that I want (that'll be my torso twist). However, the consensus for both is that their durability is ****.
I got lost and slightly impatient trying to thumb through the myriad pages of info here. I just need some quick advice on other choices of joystick. All I need is rudder twisting, decent interface and durability. A built-in throttle would be nice, but not necessary. My spending range is $50 - $100, give or take.

There are already numerous extensive joystick threads. I recommend you post there for answers.
Both the sticks you list are junk, I'm afraid (brick and mortar stores mostly don't sell decent gear of that sort these days). If you have that kind of money to spend, I might suggest looking at the Thrustmaster T16000M, which you can get new on Amazon for about $40-50, right at the bottom of your range.
That's also enough money for an X52, which you can get for about $100 new, but that's only useful if you want a HOTAS.
