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?

How Bluetooth mode? I hated both my SN30s because Bluetooth never worked reliably.

    It's stable, works as good as my DualShock 4.
    Though I used it very little over Bluetooth, I prefer the 2.4g dongle, so YMMV.

    Edit: 8BitDo sells this controller in 2 variants: The Ultimate 2 Wireless (comes with the 2.4g dongle, Xbox button layout) and the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth (No dongle, Nintendo Switch button layout).
    Maybe the Bluetooth variant works better?
