Best gamepad for WOHD

[sh1kamaru-]

I wondered this cause as far as I'm concerned the DS3 stock pad does not completely fit my need, I wondered which pad could be the best for wipeout HD,

Searching a comparative on third parties accessories I came across this page (french) :
http://news.idealo.fr/news/2812/quel...une-autre.html

it's quite nice since it gives quite a good overview of what can be found on the market atm but it's not detailed enough IMHO.

1. What do I (perhaps you too) need ?
* a home button is a must have, so a specific PS3 controller is needed that wipes out many good controllers, like the negcon for instance (many of you seem to like it)
* motion sensors : for barrel rolls, or else you can only do them on specific places like the jumps on VK, AP and CP, that leaves even fewer gamepads
* good D-pad : the one on the DualShock3 isn't really convenient for me, this is the main reason I'm looking for another one
* solid analog sticks : as a former trackmania player I used many of them and with time some sticks seem to have a larger and larger dead zone which is bad, the DS3 seems good for this, my former logitech chillstream was good too but does not have motion sensors.

2. Which gamepads seems to meet those requirements ?
Some gamepads from the above link do have this, but I've also found another one

* Thrustmaster Run’N Drive Wireless 3 in 1 Rumble Force and derivatives : this one looks a bit fragile though (the sticks in particular
* MadCatz PS3 Wireless
* Logic3 Freebird
* Subsonic Shock 3 Pad
* Bigben PS3 wireless (the article says it does not have motion but it does) (poor quality)
* Newcom Deloo Starter Pack
* Nyko Zero

I may forget some of them

Which one would you (not) recommend and why?

Recommended :
* Saturn GamePad

Wiped Out (reason) :
* BigBen (poor quality of sticks, d-pad and triggers)
* Nyko Zero (D-Pad is not good for WOHD
