I know there's more than those three, but most probably fall into one of those. People will usually share what controller (layout) they prefer, but a lot of the time the D-Pad is one thing that has a lot of variety to it compared to things like the face buttons or the analog sticks. So, what style of D-Pad is your preferred one?
For me I love any D-Pad where the buttons are all separated like on PlayStation controllers or the Switch Joy-Cons. They're way more accurate if you need to do precise directional inputs. I've tried playing games like Tetris 99 with controllers that have a connected D-Pad style and I'll make way more mistakes than when I play the same games with the separated D-Pad.

Cross or Separated is what I prefer. After trying to play fighting games on an Xbox 360 controller, I hate "shield" d-pads with a firey passion. So many times that moves just wouldn't register because I input the d-pad in such a way to fat finger corner inputs, and it is VERY annoying considering I'm bad at fighting games to start with!

I do prefer the separated button d-pad, but can use the connected ones almost as well as really. The location of a d-pad however, I prefer them to be where a PlayStation controller usually has it than where say Nintendo's controllers are, although you're most likely mainly using the analog stick anyway so it doesn't matter too much.
