The fact that they managed to turn a controller into a subscription is nothing short of fucking amazing.

Don't get the Backbone. It has a well known issue where the left side stops working properly and becomes unresponsive due to the ribbon cable inside being folded and creased too much. Backbone hasn't talked about or even tried to fix it for years and their customer support is abysmal.

I’d say MCON is the best. You can remove the phone and charge while playing too. And if you screenmirror to the TV, it’s basically like a console

To date, I still haven't found a controller that can grip a phone vertically in a satisfying way.

Gamesir x5 lite doesn't have analog or Hall effect triggers. They only register either input 0 or 255... This is from their own website.

I have Gamesir G8, previously had Razer Kishi v1. Both really good, Kishi was very small, Gamesir is significantly bigger but kore ergonomic. Can recommend both, if you don’t mind the extra space taken in your bag, then Gamesir G8 is pretty good and doesn’t cost that much.
