Both controllers have bothersome points about them, if you ask me. With the DS, for example, I bought some trigger extenders that work fantastic. The controller really should come with better triggers standard.
However, some of the "flaws" are really just matters of preference. I remember someone telling me about how awful the DS is because your thumbs always hit. This surprised me, as I don't remember that ever happening to me, so I was conscious of how I used the sticks the next time I played. I realized that I use the tips of my thumbs to control the sticks. I tried using the middle of my thumb, as this person must play, but I hated it. I use analog stick extenders, but I play the same way even with the stock sticks.
The DS could stand to be bigger, but I love the design otherwise. I do not like off-set sticks at all.
