That will be the best idea if you plan to always fly the same aircraft or aircraft that have the controls in the same position. If you want to fly a combination of airliners, GA, military, gliders and/or helicopters however, or even different makes of airliners, like me, you might need a little more flexibity.
For example, Airbus and some GA aircraft have the stick on the left, Boeings have a yoke in the centre and so on.
As you are going to be using a headset, the appearance of your real world rig will not be as important as how it feels, so if you are going to fly a few types of aircraft, a yoke, stick, throttle controls and cyclic/collective would make the realism/immersion even greater.
Some peeps do want to specialise and I am guessing that there are quite a few that are already building A320 replica cockpits, for when the FF A320 is released and for VR, that would mean a stick on the left and a throttle control on the right. If you want to go crazy, there are some fantastic looking, and probably feeling, controls for the Airbus, but they cost a lot.
Good luck with whichever way you decide to go
