So I want a flight stick.. Which one?

Actually I dunno if I want a flight stick. There seems like many options; flight stick, pedals, yoke. Maybe if I give some information people will know what to recommend. I want to mostly fly planes that are used at airports, the larger boeings and some of the prop planes. I have a pretty bad fear with flying, but the more I do it and the more I learn about it the less I hate it. So I figure this would be a great step in familiarizing myself in aviation.
