Its weird how important contoller design is these days. its mostly because the complexity of the games we now play - there were no issues in controller design when games required a two buttons and a D-Pad. The ones we've currently got are also spookily different. I'd say the PS2's is probably the best as it has everything within reach of both hands, without trying to be all fancy and "space-age" like Nintendo. Microsoft's problem is that they clearly didn't put any thought into contoller design: In my opinion, it looks like they tried to get as many buttons on a Mega Drive controller as they could, making it bigger when they had trouble fitting each new button on.
As a note though, my favorite controller is my keyboard/mouse. but at least it has the desency to be placed on the desk ^_^
