Help me choose a controller (sh.itjust.works)

I got my moonlight/sunshine rig running with fedora on the server and my AppleTV as the client. My DualShock 4 controller works but isn’t mapping right and it’s old enough that it’s probably time I bought something new rather than bother fixing it anyway.

I have an Xbox wireless controller but it just never felt right in my hand.

I have 8bitdo SN30 controllers but they never were able to keep a stable connection.

I’m considering either a Sony dualsense controller and charger, 8bitdo ultimate 2, or 8bitdo pro 3.

Opinions?

I find that it's good enough for things like the main menu or the pause menu. But I don't find it usable if I'm having to accurately click something while gameplay is happening. And if I want to minimize the game and look something up on the web, it'll take me five attempts to click a link with it.
