Personally I love the XBOX 360 controllers and with the wireless adapter you can use any 360 controller with your PC.

I use it for racing games :-)

I second the 360 controller, unless you specifically need a flight-stick type controller.  But as far as gamepads, the 360 is great.  It's a good controller to begin with, and a lot of games come with native support for it so in-game button icons and whatnot match the 360's layout.
