My advice (tho pricey) is the Gravis Phoenix joystick. It runs about
$120, but has 22 configurable buttons (keystroke or joystick button 1-4),
two triggers (same type of configuration possible) and rudder/throttle
controls (a bit clumsy, but completely configurable as well).

The interface is great, very graphical and easy to use. You can save
different configs for different games (one for Doom, one for Descent, one
for FS4, etc) and load them when you need them.  <End of sales pitch.

I don't know about the glove, but the headset will run you $700-$900.
