Xbox one pad or PS4 on PC?

Hi

Need to get a pad soon as new PC comin pg and want it for game like GTA.

What is the best pad to get?
I've heard the Xbox pad is all set up ready to go IF you get the wireless dongle thing.
Not sure if the build I'm getting has Bluetooth built in so worried the PS4 controller might not work straight away if needed to buy a Bluetooth adaptor.

What do you guys use and how's it performing?

I've used a PS4 pad, it worked well with Bluetooth, got a £5 ASUS dongle thing and never had a drama.

I currently use an xb1 pad plugged in with a mini USB cable because the size fit's my hands better.

Tbh there isn't much difference they both do the same thing, I'd say it was more a personal preference choice as I don't think there is a "best" between the two.

Wait a week and get a Xbone S controller.

Heard it's got Bluetooth built in so no USB dongle?

How does it connect to my pc if it turns out I don't have Bluetooth built in?

Oh so you need the dongle even with the new controller s?

What is the range like with the PS4 controller and bluetooth? I have a Moga Pro game controller, they are generally for use with phones and tablets but the range is really poor, maybe they thought the internal antenna didn't need to be very large because of this?
I can't get more than about 1.5 - 2m away before it drops inputs.
