If you don’t care about anything but having a controller, I always recommend the Logitech F310. It’s cheap and durable, it also supports both Xinput and DirectInput by changing a toggle switch on the bottom, so it can be used even in older games that don’t have modern controller support without any external emulation layer.
It doesn’t have rumble, a gyro, or the extra pair of buttons most modern consoles have in the center (like the touch pad buttons on a dual sense), though. It’s just a 16 button, dual stick controller in the PS layout.
That’s what I’ve used for years now, and I have no problems with them.
I actually have three of them, of varying ages, all of which still work fine. The older ones have simple switch shoulder buttons and the newer ones have analog triggers, and that’s pretty much the only notable change they’ve made over the years.
The only “problem” I’ve run into with them is that the buttons and/or the pad will accumulate dust over time and stop working dependably, so I have to take them apart and clean the contacts every year or two. Which is very easy to do.
