My Xbox Series Controller, my Dualshock 4, my Dualsense, my Steam Controller, my Switch Pro Controller, My 8bitdo Ultimate Xbox controller, basically whatever is within reach, they're all fine but I like the 8bitdo best.
Just use whatever you already have. If you don't have anything I'd say go for the 8bitdo or the Xbox Series controller. They're both excellent. The Switch pro has the buttons backwards, the PlayStation controllers don't have the best build quality (I've gone through multiple of each even though I treat controllers kindly), and the Steam Controller is a little weird and not sold new anymore. So Xbox Series if you want to save money, 8bitdo Ultimate if you just want the best.
