Xbox controllers are not bad (I have an Xbox One version), but nowadays I wouldn't buy something without at least the gyro.
My favorite is Steam Controller, other than that PS5 one is good too.
Sony actually contributed an official driver to the kernel, and some games can take advantage of its advanced haptics (even though on PC it's in wired mode only right now).
And, if you plan to emulate stuff like Wii or Switch games, then you'll probably want gyro to have a better experience.
