Which of these two controllers is best for PC gaming?

I have a £15 off voucher for Ebay if I spend £25 or more and finding a new Official Xbox 360 controller is almost impossible, also would be less than the £25 meaning I would have to spend more but can't think of anything I would need right now. This means that I can get the 2 controllers for exactly the same price.

Which would I be better of getting, considering price is no issue.

Thanks

The 360 wired controller in my opinion, or wireless with the microsoft wireless adapter I have heard bad things about the third party adapters . Both will work fine with a PC I use an xb1 controller plugged in with a micro usb cable all the time. However I find the 360 controller to fit better in my hands, the analog sticks are much better for me, and I feel I could easily break the xb1 controller in half, the 360 controller felt much much more rigid and higher quality. I like the triggers on the xb1 controller but thats about it.

The new Xbox one controller that comes with the Xbox one soon has Bluetooth support. I can't wait going to trade in my current xbone and get and xbone s and get the controller too.

If you don't have 50-60$ to spend on the new Xbox one controller than it comes down to preference. Xbox one controller is much much lighter and slightly oddly angled bumpers in my opinion but I have learned to use then and like then better now
