Drive Controller style: Attack3 or Videogame style?

At this point in our robot stage, our team is trying to decide which control method would be best.
1) Do we want to go with a standard video game controller like an xbox, or do we want to stick with the standard attack 3 joystick? We're going to do mecanum, and we were wondering what other mec teams use to control, as well as what alternate drive teams use. I feel like for teenagers, the video game controllers make more sense, but I like the ability to gauge movements with a larger joystick.
2) What item specifically do you use?
3) Is there any unique controller that your team may use, such as a touch screen or something?

Any input is appreciated
