The Best Joystick for the Atari 2600?

I am not very content with the original CX40 joysticks that came with my Atari 2600.

For two player games a second one was in order. So I picked an arcade joystick kit by Monster Joysticks. It recently arrived, so what else to do than assemble it and take it for a spin!
