What's your flavor?
I use the joystick and RT. I probably couldn't make it through half a level using the d-pad or running with X.

joystick vs d-pad, RT vs X
Joystick and RT. I have no idea why anyone would want to use X, that's gonna screw you up while jumping eventually. Didn't know you could use the d pad.
I'm the first D-Pad, X guy? I've been using the claw for a while, so it doesn't really mess up my jumps, plus I think I used the same method with SNES games.
I switch it up between the analog and d-pad, but stay with the X button. I mean if you played any sort of old school platformer back in the day, this pretty much feels like that control-wise, as the X button might as well be the B button on an NES controller for me. The right trigger messes me up something fierce as it just doesn't feel right.
Analog and RT.
I've found my skills at the game don't carry over day to day so I'm always having to relearn it.
Stick and RT. Seems to work a lot better for most levels in trying to guide him carefully and jump back and forth. Then again, that may be because the XBox Dpad is terrible.
Joystick and X. I'm too used to using the x button now to change to RT and I'm quite comfortable with that since I spend a lot of time playing fifa with mainly the x and a buttons.
I have a Hori controller with a great d-pad that I use mainly for fighting games. I use that for SMB and the trigger to run.
I'm most of the way through the game with Stick and X, RT probably is better but I'm used to all my air control being on my right thumb by now.
I used the d-pad and X at first but I eventually switched to the analog stick. It seems a little more jerky using the d-pad.
Analog and RT.
Also, I found out today you can use the right analouge stick instead of the left stick as well.
