I would say that the best joystick I know is the one I have, he,he... The question is that I bought it back in 1989 and it's still working!!
The body is made of thick wood, the metallic center of the joystick is steel and its centered by a big magnet, it has microswitches for directions and buttons. An arcade joystick taken out of one of those old arcade machines. Nearly indestructible...
