It really depends on the driver. However, if you want to go to the one-stick method, I would suggest splitting the x-axis and the y-axis out into two different joysticks, Halo style. That makes it really easy to drive straight, in large arcs, and tight turns. Two stick tank-style makes it hard to drive straight (both hands must be in the same spot) and so does one stick (hand must be dead centre on the joystick).
