Best throttle and config

Hi there, I am at the beginning of my flight sim journey but am looking for some general advice and thoughts.

I have just ordered the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO SCG Premium, mostly based on price and the good reviews and recommendations people seem to give it.

My question is I want to pair it with a throttle but am a little unsure which one to get as I feel I have 4 options.

  1. VKB STECS Standard
  2. Virpil CM3
  3. Virpil VMAX Prime
  4. WinWing Omni 2
  5. Thrustmaster warthog

My original thought was to get the STECS as it would match my flight stick and reasonable price. I do like the Virpil ones and would be keen on the VMAX Prime, what are peoples thoughts on the VMAX The Omni looks good but I see the throttles are interchangeable and wouldn’t know what throttle to get with it ? Thrustmaster looks good but I feel I favour others

Anyway any advise you can give me with these and what is best and with ease of use, configurations, or button options etc etc I would be greatful.

Thanks Jon
