Change my mind: Xbox-X controller are best controllers.
There is no absolute best controller, because everyones hands and preferences are different.
Xbox may be best, for you, and thats fine, its great you have a controller that fits your hand comfortably and plays well.
but, for example, for me? Dualshock/Dualsense controllers fit my hands better, and are more playable, because I prefer the symmetrical joystick layout, vs the asymmetrical of Xbox/Switch Pro.
I’m sure theres someone out there where the SNES style 8bitdo works and feels best for them, too.
I think we can, however, universally agree on prices being too expensive for all of them.
My all time favorite controller was ds3. ds4 was pretty decent too but it seemed that ds3 had better batteries. Also the batteries would stop holding charge, most likely the battery capacity degraded.
I then got X360 controller which for some reason was not the best, started preferring the asymmetrical design felt better. I was gaming like a degenerate back then and it used to feel better in long sessions. Although I didn’t like the weight.
Haven’t tried the xbox one controller, the xbox-x controller felt great. Perfect, weighty. I do gave on the newer ds5 controller, it’s alright but feels a bit lighter and weird as I have gotten used to the weight of xbox-x controller. I however haven’t tested games with the new triggers, as i have only played at my friends and party or group games which doesn’t use those.
I still have 2 ds3, 3 ds4, 1 xbox and 2 xbox X controller
The go to is the xbox-x controllers, which probably comes as no-surprise given my original bait of a post :D

Fair point.
