Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types?

It's a major upgrade from the old 360 controller I was using. Biggest selling point for me was the price.

Steam Controller Priced at $149 CAD
The Canadian experience is seeing a cool tech announcement for $99 USD (~130CAD) and then watching it transform into $150 the moment it crosses the border. It’s like a magic trick where my money just disappears. My 8BitDo Ultimate 2C cost me $40 CAD; I could literally buy three of those for the pric

any good reliable alternatives to the regular nintendo switch pro controller?
8BitDo Ultimate 2C. It's about 30 USD and honestly very good value with Hall effect sticks and button feel. I prefer the D-pad to both the Pro 1 and Pro 2 controllers, if that's something that matters to you.

Advice for a better controller
Thanks for all the replies guys. I've just ordered the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C 2.4G, Hall Effect, Wireless. That seems to be a popular choice and was pretty cheap (for Norway) 😆

ultimate 2c wired controller doesnt work on switch
The 2C wired isn't compatible with switch unfortunately. You'll have to go for the Bluetooth edition. Imo 8Bitdo has a big problem with product variation with the ultimate series for this reason.

not shocked
8BitDo Ultimate 2C half the price of a Pro controller and will never get stick drift.
