I know the buffalo SNES controller is a popular option: https://www.amazon.com/BUFFALO-2145487-Classic-USB-Gamepad/dp/B002B9XB0E

What I use when I use EMU though is any of the controllers from 8bitdo, their controllers (especially the snes one) are very high quality, very highly recommended: http://www.8bitdo.com/

I think its best to buy a new fake controller (so it works great and so it isn't expensive) per and plug it in the adapter OuaisMaisNan mentioned in the comment above.

well, when it comes to controllers, REAL runners use the keyboard.

I think, keyboard is very nice controller for smb1, I'm normally doing most of tricks and flagpole glitch also on keyboard. I can't only 1-2 or 4-2 clips, but it can be my own problem. So don't care about best controller, after practise you can be fast on any normal controller.

I prefer keyboard over anything. I've tried Xbox controller, but it's really hard to do backward jumps with the giant d-pad.

cornycows said it is ok, let's stop suggesting new ideas and lock this forum, huh?
