Symmetric is the only way to be. After all my thumbs are in the same spot so should my sticks be.

I've never really understood this logic. Surely that's the case with shooters, but in most other games your left and right thumbs are going to be covering the left stick and face buttons respectively, so your fingers are gonna be staggered most of the time with symmetrical sticks anyway. :

Like what other game types? 

RPGs, Action/Adventure, Platformers, and Racing games.

RPG's depends on which one. Action adventure using the camera stick often just about as much as shooters, platformes if 2d is best played with the D pad anyway. if 3d your still on the stick more often than not. and racing games, nope use the stick for gas and break in GT. while mapping a second break to the R2 trigger.  of course this set up is also best for old school games too.

Ah, I forgot about Sims. I was thinking more along the lines of Arcade and Kart racers. My experience with Action adventure has been different, though, I find myself using the buttons far more often than the right stick, so assymetrical just feels right in that case. Meh, different strokes for different folks, I guess. But I do understand your perspective now.
