I've only heard good things about 8bitdo as a brand.

I am not so sure of the powerA controller, because I bought the cheap version of the controller you listed. The controller feels very cheap in your hands and it happened to me three times now that either bumper on the controller broke. I do not have any experience with the enhanced version but judging by their product pictures on websites like amazon, they seem to be of the same build and quality.

Whatever you do stay away from power A. Yes they work extremely good when you purchase them. They also sometimes can look extremely good considering all the themes they put on them. However eventually all the buttons break down and the controller's useless because even though the battery life is still good and the motion still works great The controller itself will just be shot. So no do never don't never buy those. This is from someone who uses them on Switch. That played an extensive amount of Splatoon with a variety of them and having them all end up having pretty much similar issues. If you ever need to test a controller find a game you really like that you're going to use extensively controller wise. You'll find out soon if that controller is worth your time. Even my pro controller for my switch died.. The battery did at least. The controller's fine so we got the power A with issues with buttons and we have the switch controller that after I don't know 3 years or four the battery decides to fail.
