Heh, funny you should mention the X52. It's got a long-running issue where the potentiometers develop jitter, inhibiting fine control. The 3D Pro is alright, but it's got fewer usable buttons than a gamepad, (the ones on the base aren't reachable with the grip hand) so it's kind of sixes with a controller. The gamepad is a bit better at input-heavy aircraft such as the A-10 or the front seat in the Apache.
