I was in the same predicament not so long ago. I had been flying the POSKY, but the panel left much to desired. Go with this (for what it's worth): If you don't care so much about cockpit detail, but still want the long haul adventure, stick with a POSKY model/texture. Be advised there are numerous 777 model updates from POSKY, but not too difficult to install. I would also d/l a decent 777 sound (check flightsim or avsim.com) and replace with the default sound folder.
If, however, you are like me and want a working FMC and VNAV/LNAV climb and checklists and APUs and etc. etc., I would recommend the PSS 777 from Justflight.com. If I lost you with FMC and LNAV/VNAV, then stick with a good POSKY model, but upgrade the sound for sure. There are some 777 freeware panels out there, but I grew tired of them, wanted more challenge.

Re: I need to update my hangar, but which 777?
I use the PSS 777 and I've been very pleased. It didn't come with much of a checklist, but the panel is very similar to 767, so I use a slightly modified version of my Level-D 767 checklist. All the Boeing FMCs are about the same, so if you already know how to fly one of those, it will speed up your training dramatically.

Re: I need to update my hangar, but which 777?
Is the POSKY model better? Yes, I guess so. The trick is, to "merge" POSKY model and texture to work with PSS panel. I wanted the extra model details (pushback tug, stairs, etc.) but wanted the extra cockpit switches and detail. Problems? You bet, I did find a work around but it's quite involved. It's called 'merging", similar to traffic. You want the nice detailed a/c, but the payware panel makes the POSKY model act crazy. You can google it, just type in POSKY/PSS (Bxxx or MDXX) merge; you'd be surprised.
