The Logitech MOMO is currently the best wheel that isn't several hundred dollars (you can get very high quality custom built wheels if you're willing to pay). And if you don't like FF, you can always turn it down or all the way off. Either with the wheel software or in-game. I personally like it, and the auto-centering is always good. It kind of gives you the feeling that you actually have to steer hard for hard turns, which does add realism. However, the pedals do not work well at all on hardwood floors. They keep tipping forward. They're extremely good on carpet though.
