I've played plenty of both as the owner of a PS1/PS2/PS3/Xbox/360/Wii U/Switch, and honestly I prefer the Xbox/Switch setup the best, with my left thumb fully extended and my right resting on the face buttons and switching down to the stick when needed.
I find my my thumbs are more comfortable when extended than reaching down to bottom sticks, and I find I spend more time pressing the face buttons than using the right stick in most games.
