As other people have mentioned, I'm going to recommend 8bitdo! They have quality controllers for super reasonable prices, include niceties like rear paddles for much cheaper than Microsoft or Sony include those, and you can get Xbox clone controllers with or without official branding. Those are both US$70, have bluetooth as well as a 2.4GHz adapter and include a nice looking charging dock for setting up on your TV unit or similar.
Their Pro 2 controller is also great, I've had one for three or four years now and can highly recommend it. Though it's just been replaced with the Pro 3 that like above includes a dock and 2.4GHz adapter. One thing I liked more about the Pro 2 is it has a removable battery pack that you can replace with a couple AA batteries.
I do like a removable battery in my consumer electronics.
