I am a great fan of full motion sims for emergency practice. I would go as far as to say that I learned about flying from sims, which changed my response to emergencies from hands flying around the cockpit and shouted checks, to cool, calm, collected appropriate responses to situations. I think that only the sim can do that for you.
However, I do not particularly rate procedural trainers as part of the initial IR. It doesn't feel the same, mainly due to the lack of motion, the needles don't behave the same (they work too well) and the training therefore doesn't transfer very well to reality (this all in my personal experience, others may have found differently.) If you can get flying for the price of the procedural trainer, go for it.
