Xbox Series X controller with the Windows Adapter: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/adapters/wireless-adapter-windows it's the standard for computer controllers. Used by over 50% of the market. With the Linux Xone driver, it has some pretty good Linux compatibility but you just have to ensure you set it up correctly. You can also use the Xbox Series X controller to use Bluetooth but it comes with the drawbacks of higher latency and less range. If you plan on doing that use the xpadneo driver instead.
The Playstation 5 controllers are the next popular and the next ones I would recommend. They have less driver support on Linux for some of the more fancy features such as the touchpad and sixaxis do not work over wireless.
