Top 5 controllers with number 1 being my favorite:

5. Nintendo Wii Classic controller (great overall feel, wish it was wireless on its own)
4. Sega Genesis six button (great d-pad)
3. PlayStation Dual Analog (Not Dual Shock - the only Sony controller that was larger than the rest, I wish every day that the Sony controllers of today were this size)
2. SNES (having two of the buttons on the shoulder is what makes it superior to the Genesis controller)
1. Dual Shock 3 (everything great about Dual Shock and Dual Shock 2 controllers, but lighter and wireless)

My least favorite controller of all time is the GameCube controller. The left analog stick is excellent, and the trigger buttons are the best in the business, but the god awful mess that is the A, B, X & Y button layout is the biggest design failure in gaming history. :(

With that said, I'm also a fan of the Dreamcast controller. The d-pad was disappointing, but the idea of the VMU is excellent. The shoulder buttons are what keep the Saturn controller off the list for me. Also, I've never held one, but I have a feeling that I would like the six button Jaguar controller. The Jag controller isn't as bad as most people make it out to be and the six button fixes most of the minor issues that existed.

My favorite controllers in order.

1. SNES
2. Xbox 360
3. NES
4. GameCube

My least favorite controllers from worst to least worse.

1. Sega Genesis/Saturn (this peice of crap controller made me never want the system.)
2. Nintendo 64 (I mean wtf is up with this? Do I have 3 hands?! No...)
3. All Playstation controllers.

wiggy:
SNES & 360. Pretty much beat out every other for me by such a huge margin that any others aren't even worth mentioning.

Side note: some of my least favs would be the Dreamcast (not an entirely horrible controller, but wretched bad for a system which has so many excellent fighters), Wii waggle sticks plus silly joystick-on-a-shrimp, and Sony's controllers.

Moviefan2k4:
My favorite overall is the Super NES controller. After that, it would probably be a tie between both versions of the NES (classic and dogbone).

Dr.Agon:
im probably going to make some enemies with this, but my favourite controller is the N64, i can play wave race one-handed, anything which lets me play and eat at the same time will always win!
yes the d-pad isnt really used, but the design, along with the nearly perfect analogue stick, was and is still great!
