We’ll start with the PS2 controller
The controller fits well with your hands, with your thumbs over the D-pad and the four face buttons. Beneath the D-pad and face buttons are two analog sticks ( which are clickable) and above them four shoulder buttons. Now, the D-pad isn’t that great, but it is certainly better quality than the Gamecube’s one. The face buttons have a nice feel and are easily accessable. The shoulder buttons are easy to reach but they click immediately. Lastly, the analog sticks are of good quality, but I have an issue with their placement. Having to stretch your thumbs out makes it a little harder to play FPS game with this controller.
The Gameube controller is perhaps the most bizarre of the three with differently shaped face buttons and analog sticks. The controller fits PERFECTLY into your hands, and I personaly think it’s the most comfortable to hold. However, it has a horrible D-pad and the analog sticks aren’t that great either. The shoulder buttons, which you have to push for a while before they click are great and the Z button is well placed. Plus the fact that there is the Wavebird available makes this a very good controller however it isn’t very good for FPS’s either.
Finally the Xbox controller. I’m aware that there was the original Xbox controller but for this I’ll be using the controller S. Probably the best overall controller, but not my personal favourite. It’s analog sticks and shoulder buttons make it perfect for FPS games. It’s face buttons feel good and are easy use. It’s analog sticks are probably the best out of the three and it’s D-pad is too. The shoulder buttons are pressure sensitive and great for driving games.
So which was the best last gen? You decide

XBOXes DPAD is the worst ever.
XBOXes shoulder buttons are so thin, that they hurt to use for extended periods of time, giving you "Crazy Taxi" finger
Cube's Z button is horrible, due to the lip on the shoulder button that makes it harder to press it.
Cube's C-stick is horrible
