Most people unfamiliar with emulation are probably going to plug their xbox or PS3/4 controller in and they have guide buttons that can be mapped and will behave pretty much like it does on an xbox/playstation. Anyone else can probably live with the shortcomings of button combos as I would expect them to be preferred over anything that increases input latency like waiting to decide if there was just a push or a hold.
You're right, xbox and PS4 controllers are definitely the most common. I could see Genesis controllers being popular in the DIY community though, so I could create a solution friendly to common controllers with more advanced emulation options for the power users.
