controller recommendation

[dragonfisher33]

with so many controllers out there, is there an advantage for one brand of controller over another? i heard one of the controller company (can't remember the name but i think it's got "angel" in the name) isn't as good as the others. i'm so confused over Reef Keeper Lite vs Reef Keeper Elite vs Apex Jr vs Apex vs ETC (also Arduino i think it's the name). This is my first controller and i would love to know what others are using and any ups/downs
