Best game controller?

Okay, I've been recently playing some of my favorite games like Thief: Deadly Shadows and GTA: San Andreas. I've heard these games work really well with controllers and that the PS2 controller was near perfect for them. Can anyone recommend a PS2 like controller that works well, such as a Logitech or a Saitek controller? Any help would be most appreciated, if you want my specs, check the rig in my sig.
 
Ah, that looks Perfect! That baby is gonna be mine! It has 4 top-side buttons which is what I was looking for, I prefer to have a lot of buttons for everything that I do!
 
I found the logitech controllers to feel really cheesy and especially didn't like how loose the analog sticks were

closest thing I could find that felt good was the Thrustmaster Firestorm

little harder to find, but well worth it in my opinion

Firestorm
 
I really like my wireless Logitech Rumblepad -- it works great and didn't feel as cheap as the blue Dual Action pad.

Alternatively, you can get a PS2 to USB adapter that lets you use a PS2 controller on the PC. They can be gotten for probably less than the cost of a new controller. I think RadioShack has them, but I picked one up for my brother for $12 shipped off Ebay.
 
Radioshack sells a PS2>USB converter for like $10. Why use anything but a DualShock 2? I have one, and it's great, autodetects with windows, etc, I love it. Install the included drivers if you want and you get force feedback. I did a complete review of it a long while back for a site called blackdimension but it's gone down since.

The only problem is it doesn't support the analog buttons, so no pressure sensitivity.
