Depends, the PS3 controller is a bit more sensitive from the box with just a regular one but I prefer the xbox controller for stick layout especially with the triggers and it to me just seems to be so much better and easier to use. This comes from someone who was a straight up playstation from one until my PS2 broke and uses a PS3 on a rather regular basis even though I own an xbox. Honestly I just love the xbox controller, and on longevity I find that the first thing to go on my controllers are the buttons I use most, currently on my xbox controller the right button is dying from all the nades I've chucked (play almost exclusivly online CoD) but I just find that the xbox controller seems more right to me.
