I like both the PS2 controller and the Xbox controller. I like the double R and L buttons on the PS2 but I like the offset thumbsticks of Xbox. It's tough to decide.
X-box makes the best game pads for me, i like ps2 also, but i find my thumb slips off the analog stick too easy. If they made a halo for ps2 i would probably suck at it.
WTH, how can i be the only person to vote for the gamecube controller? It is by FAR the best. The ps2 pad is a SNES pad with 2 prongs and sum anologue sticks that the only added after they saw the N64 had one. Plus its the been the same design for the last 8 or so years now that cant be good. The new xbox controller isnt bad but the gamecube one is vastly suprier.
I don't know, I guess it's just personal preference, but the Gamecube's button layout seems kind of odd to me. To me it feels a little unnatural , but really I could stand using it, and all of the mentioned controllers for that matter, just fine.
