I use a wireless pro switch controller. I agree, it is underrated. I have used wired gamecube controller in the past but I've grown more comfortable with the pro switch controller, probably using it to play other games like splatoon.
I use the pro controller because I gave up on my joycons (drift) and I don't own the adapter for the GameCube controller nor do I think it's necessary.
I only used joycons when the game first came out, though.
