It depends what is mid-range to an individual really. If the professional wheels are considered top, Fanatec high, Logitech mid, nd generic cheap stuff as low, then I'd recommend a Logitech G27 (or G25 if you find a significant price gap), but it might be a bit expensive. That does have a much harder brake pedal.
I haven't watched this yet, but this is probably worth a watch. It's a little rough on the presentation but it'll show you what's out there. Keep in mind that the general rules are
Logitech - solid, may have pot issues with the pedals in a few years. Easy to fix if you can hold a screwdriver without accidently stabbing yourself in the eye
Thrustmaster - it'll probably break.
Fanatec - Teething issues. Customer support is almost non-existant.
Edit: AFAIK the PS3 wheels such as the Logitech DFPs, work on the PC too.
Edit2: Watching it now. They are very harsh on the lower end wheels. Yes the DFPs, DFGT and Momo are never going to be amazing quality, but they are less than half the price of the upper Logitech wheels, so it's harsh to call them rubbish etc. Budget is what they are.
