WHEEL FOR ME! A real car is steered using a wheel so I find that more natural, I can go from throttle to brake and back to throttle faster with a trigger than I can with sticks. I can do sticks (just) on consoles but when the RC car is 15m away and your not behind it I find my reactions too slow compared with a wheel.
I also found different wheel transmitters have differing amount of rotational movement in the wheel and that can also play a big part in how a person takes to them. EXAMPLE My old Traxxas wheel (and Carson tx) only moved about 45deg in either direction making a car with a fast servo mega twitchy forcing the use of loads of DR adjustment, I changed to a Spektrum DX4S which has more movement (approx 90deg either direction) which makes the steering action much more linear and more to my liking and negates the need for DR adjustment unless grip roll becomes a problem then I tweak it a little to numb the response a touch
