It is definitely a preference of the driver. I can never drive with a Wheel or a flight stick. The Wheel is simply too bulky, requires too much hand motion, and does offer nearly the same amount of buttons/controls that I like to use. A flight stick, again, requires too much hand motion and also has limited buttons on the stick itself.

IMO xbox controller is the way to go, the thumbsticks and triggers offer more precision than you will even need, and the number of buttons available at your fingertips is great. But you have to use what best suits you. Don't think "oh let me use a steering wheel because 971 does". Your own preference is key.
