At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

DualSense is the best right now IMO due to the features. If you don't believe me, actually play Astro's Playroom.

But I love the Steam Deck's layout (so I guess I'd probably like the Steam Controller as well). A lot of that has to do with Steam Input being fucking awesome, but it's also possible to get relatively good at using the touchpads as mouse, and the "touch right stick to enable gyro" is an awesome feature that has made FPS games playable on console for me.

I had a dualsense before, bought it thinking of those features. Turns out that a few games had support for it on PC, and most were shooters so I wouldn't play using a controller.

The battery was abysmal too, it would barely last 4 hours. I've heard on some places that it was due to the touchpad being polled for input all the time, draining the battery.

Moved over to a 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth with Hall sticks and couldn't be happier

I have read that early DualSense units had a bug that affected battery life. If you still have yours, it might be worth updating the firmware.
