360 wired pad all the way
"Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail."
Having recently switched from an old 360 controller to both the Steam Controller and the Xbox One controller, although it will be more expensive and may require an upgrade to Windows 10, the Xbox One controller and wireless receiver is a fantastic combo.
I'm running an xbox one controller in win 7. (wired) that's fine. When you plug them in you can go to windows update and there will be an option there to install the drivers for the controllers. Don't need win 10.
There's not that much difference between the xbox one pad and the wired 360 pad in terms of usage and layout. So saving a little money and getting the 360 pad is probably the best option.

Best of all worlds. £24.99. Xbox one wired.
I like the Steam controller. It took me a while to get used to it, I have an Xbox One. Now that I am, I prefer it to the XB1 controller. I find myself much more accurate with it.
I used to use a Logitech wireless gamepad but ddn't find it ergonomic. I replaced it with a Thrustmaster game pad which broke sometime after. I currently use a PS3 game pad paired with the free software MotionInJoy which works quite well and pairs over bluetooth quickly and easily. Given the choice I would recommend the 360 gamepad too just because I think its the most comfortable, however to pair the wireless one with PC you need to buy a receiver, and I've heard it can be difficult to pair with.

I recently bought the XEOX Pro Analog Gamepad - Wireless after reading a lot of reviews and I like it. It has both Xinput and DirectInput which appealed to me in case I play older games.
I bought it for £17.99 but it seems to have gone up in price since then.
Bought the 360 wired controller and all good except for a squeaky right trigger.
Xbox pads with USB ports are one of the best around. However, it is worth bearing in mind that you do lose functionality if you play PC games with a gamepad instead of a mouse + keyboard!
