Best romhacks + games that work well with Classic Controller / GameCube controller? (and which aren’t worth it)

I’m trying to build out a setup focused on using the Wii Classic Controller and Nintendo GameCube controller instead of motion controls, and I’m looking for the best romhacks and games that actually feel good with them.

From what I understand, a lot of Wii games (especially ports and older-style titles) support traditional controls, but others are heavily motion-based and don’t translate well at all

What I’m looking for:

Best romhacks that add Classic Controller or GameCube controller support

Games that play really well with those controllers (feel natural, not forced)

Any Gecko codes / patches that improve compatibility

And just as important games that technically work but feel terrible and aren’t worth bothering with

I’m mainly trying to avoid wasting time setting stuff up only to realize the controls feel janky or half-supported.

Would love recommendations, especially hidden gems or must-play setups. Ideally, I’m looking for options that are easy to set up like already-patched ISOs or straightforward drops into USB Loader GX. I’d prefer to avoid having to mess around with Gecko codes, patches, or complicated config unless it’s really worth it.
