So far FSX.
If MS quits making It then in 5 years or so X-Plane will have caught up with it.

But a cockpit is a cockpit no matter what the software is, the control panel of the aircraft stays the same.

It depends on the cockpit, I'd do some more research if i were you. X-Plane isn't as pretty as FSX, but it is much more customizable and controllable. It has a version that is FAA approved for running a full on training sim.
