The poll should have an option for both. I prefer asymetrical for racing games and symmetrical for games that make extensive use of the dpad. Otherwise I pretty much don't care and pick the controller that fits the console I'm playing / fits the input layout the best.
Though I'm one of those weirdos that has a ginormous collection of controllers of all styles and uses pretty much all of them regularly.
