Has there ever been a "standard" twin stick setup for SC? Are there some things standard? Thumb wheel for throttle, etc?

There is downloads on thrustmaster website for SC settings for single and twin stick.

I use a Thrustmaster T16000 like a lot of people. Just keep in mind it's design is deeply flawed as most of the buttons are on the base, meaning you will have to have to either release the joystick to push them, or release the throttle to use them. Either are not great things to have to do when say, in combat or other high stress situations...
Yers there is an answer for this - voice attack. Once you have that you need no buttons other than fire and select next target. I also have space brake, boost and afterburner on the left stick,

Looking at the Thrustmaster site, I really like the Warthog. Does it come in left hand as well?

I'm wondering if that base plate comes off and can be replaced with the desk clamps Montoya recommended as I think he said they can attach directly to the arms of a gaming chair. That would seem ideal. Seems to be plenty of buttons and would give even a cheap chair a nice feel and look:

The Orange is close enough to TEST black and yellow and then all I need is a long-travel motorized linear rotation stage to set the seat in, and a cheap Rasperry Pi controller so when you sit down and flip the switch, "Aegis Combat Systems" makes their announcement as the seat turns and tucks you in between the monitors.
How cool would that be? If I do it I need two. My BabyDoll wants to play as well.

Not stock, but there is a guys who makes them: http://www.dualsticks.com/left-hand-grips/ I went in the waiting line May 4th 2017
Off course, 4 bolts and the plate is off.
You don't need to mount them directly to the arms, that would be very unstable, but....
and the Warthog version:
A TESTie which I met at Gamescom 2017 and Citizencon 2017, @Olsen, makes nice stuff to mount sticks to tables, chairs, even simrigs.

Has anyone tried setting up the rudder petals as throttle right and break/reverse thrust left?
Is there a way to control the engines in two engine birds separately, so you could effectively spin them like a top (for an instant, so you don't black out)? Seems more sluggish birds like the Vanguards would greatly benefit from separate throttle controls. Huge yaw on the Vanguard and pitch on the Reliant would make those birds much more dangerous.

Depends. Do you want to use pedals or not? If not, get the old saitek stuff instead of the warthog and other stuff. the twist can take getting used to, but it does prevent you from needing yet another piece of equipment.
strafe back left strafe forward right, so with throttle left acts as brake
I bought a cheap Logitech Extreme 3D pro because I don't dogfight and just need a basic stick with lots of buttons. For the left hand, however, I want a CH Flightstick Pro as it's ambidextrous and I don't need that many buttons on the left stick. I think a stick made for the right hand in my left would be too irritating for me personally.
I do it on the Warthog for over a year now, you will get used to it, can't use the thumb and pinky switch, but it works
I can attest to the fact that marcsand2 warthogs does the job.
Oh yes it does.
