Joystick vs. Controller?

[Canon reeves]

I really prefer strait up two joystick tank drive, we tried cheesey but I didn't like the turns as much, the only way I would try a controller was if it was tank. The only major question we had was whether or not to have an operator use a controller or should it be the triggers on the joysticks. I must say, it is easier to not have them on the joysticks but we felt it was necessary for it to flow properly during matches.
