It seems everyone likes the PMDG 737, but Flight1's ATR is very nice.

If you are the least bit interested in GA aircraft, I would recommend the Dreamfleet A36 Bonanza...but that is just my 2 cents worth  8)

When you have a Yoke and Rudder pedals (get both, believe me), it's like a whole new game. Coordinated turns, differential braking, throttle/prop/mix controls. WAY cool. Personally, I'd get that before anymore payware aircraft or scenery.

Im not usually too much of an airliner pilot, except for my VA (Which is in many ways, similar to yours Wink), but in that area I would recommend the PMDG 737.  It has pretty good modelling, and nice looking cabin to sit in.  Learning to fly by a flight computer is pretty cool too.  If you get the PMDG 737, I would also recommend getting Active Camera as well (as I did when I got 737), it gives you the best of the product, as well as other products (you can even have that head bobble effect in the virtual cockpit and cabin)

Outside the big airplane area, I would highly recommend the Aeroworx King Air B200.  It has pretty much a fully functional cockpit (only thing you cant press are the circuit breakers and some useless switches) and its as real as it gets as far as computer flight sims go.  Plus, it gives you that mix of flying something relatively big (kinda like an airliner but way smaller), and a sporty general aviation feel.  Plus you can fly into a very wide selection of destinations, including some in the bush.
 
Cheers,
RB

I don't have any payware aircraft yet. But the yoke and rudder pedals make a BIG difference (as above)
