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'm not worred about linux support, its just mapping things it gets from the moonlight client. I'm more interested in bluetooth stability and general feel and experience in using them. I've heard haptics on the 8bitdo controllers are weak compared to sony.

    I'd say the haptics thing is pretty true. And Bluetooth connectivity seems to be a hit or miss thing with their controllers. Some people seem to have had a lot of problems with it, just looking at comments on this and other threads, but I never have and I've had 3 of their controllers.
