While I've not used a broad range of different controllers I do own  
and love my Mackie Control Universal + Mackie Control XT. It was  
designed in collaboration with Michael Hadyn, Apple/ Emagic's main  
man who designed the control surface code within Logic itself.  
Because of this fact I suspect this line of controllers is a strong  
cantidate for first place in the seamless integration stakes.

Whichever you choose be very sure about native support within Logic.  
Also to extend the functionality of many controllers check out the  
excellent LC Xmu <www.opuslocus.com> which does Mackie control  
emulation so Logic thinks you're using a Mackie control when you  
might be using another control surface. It's an extremely useful add  
on for this sort of stuff.

Kind regards
