On the downside - I find that I get my best times by being extremely gentle with the airbreaks, anything more than a light brush on Phantom tends to result in me having to overcompensate - Now the problem with the Dualshock 3 is that the airbreak triggers push in with much less resistance than the original controllers - thus it's much more of a struggle to be subtle with the airbreaks, and more often than not I end up with either all or nothing.

So yes - for me the Dualshock 3 is a mixed bag.
Ive got to agree with this. After breaking it in for a few days, its certainly got a bit better doing BRs. Not 100% but definitely better. And the triggers are also weird at first, but I got used to them pretty quick. TBH ive always pressed them hard but briefly when cornering rather than slightly as necessary so resistance wasnt really a big issue.
