Running at home - and at my club - I'm happiest using a 45 ohm Parma or DS controller. I grew up with 1970s Scalextric controllers, so that 'direct' resistor feel is what's most natural to me. The DS controllers are a good modern update of the Parma.

I do have a Truspeed MT1, which is excellent for all the reasons people have mentioned. But I prefer - and lap faster - with the 45 ohm Parma and DS when driving standard Scalextric, Fly, Ninco, Teamslot, Carrera, Slot.it, Policar etc models. Add in faster stuff and big club tracks, and a Truspeed will cover all eventualities.
