I have 4 PS3 controllers and 4 PS2 controllers and have never had a problem with any of them except for the one crappy madcat controller I made the mistake of buying when stores were out of genuine PS2 controllers way back in the day.
The Playstation has the best controllers by far, hands down. I have had the battery on the 360 controller stop working though after very limited use (the official MS pack you have to buy) but I realize that's just anecdotal. It is the system that is unreliable more so then the controllers in the case of the 360. Because one out of 4 360 battery packs stopped workign after 5 charge cycles I don't say "OMG all 360 controllers don't work I hate this crap".
You're obviously abusing them as well, stop slamming the joystick so hard, again, never happened to me or anyone I know.
