What's the best console controller of all time?

Why do we ask? Well, take one look at Sock Master's Video Game Controller Family Tree, and your mind's eye will probably start going over all the controllers you've loved before. Personally, I prefer the Gamecube's feel more than anything else. I'd say the Atari 2600 is my sentimental fave, though I don't miss those damn thumb blisters.

The worst? The original Xbox stick. But it barely beat out the awful Atari 5200 nightmares.
