I don't think symmetrical vs. asymmetrical fully captures the situation. The placement and proximity of the sticks, within each layout, is also important. For example, I like the symmetrical design of the DualShock 4 but I strongly dislike the sticks bunched up at the center of the controller. It makes the controller less comfortable than the Pro Controller and Xbox One controller, which feature symmetrical and asymmetrical layouts, respectively.
So I think symmetry is less important than spacing and height, when it comes to analog sticks.
