Xbox compatible controllers all support xinput, which works well on Linux, both wired and wireless. Third party PlayStation controllers on the other hand can be weird on wired connections, and may only work with Bluetooth.
I'm quite happy with 8bitdo controllers - they're sturdy, have hall effect sticks so they won't drift, and work out of the box. Cheaper controllers will work too, but may end up falling apart sooner than later.
