I'd suggest a preowned good condition xbox series s or newer controller, as it has Bluetooth so you wouldn't need to by a dongle if you wanted to use wireless. That said, an older xbox controller will also be sufficient if wireless isn't something that bothers OP.

Also if OP does decide to fork out lots, a xbox elite 2 controller has fantastic battery, I charge mine once every 4 or 5 days. It has around 35-40 hours of battery life, downside is the battery can't be changed, but I've yet to have issues with mine and its 2 years old. Bluetooth on those controller does chew battery a bit more, and some people have issues with that, but alas, swings and roundabouts lol
