There are 3rd party controllers for them, but I have generally found 3rd party controllers to either A: suck or B: not last very long. You're better off just biting the bullet and shelling out a few more bucks for the 1st party gear. Now, video cables and memory cards are a WHOLE different story 
I loved the micro madcats controllers for Xbox, they had higher sensitivity than the regular ones. It is true that they wear out quicker though(my left stick would always wear out)!
What you do is buy them from Best Buy with the extended warranty. I exchanged 4 controllers, one at a time as each one's left stick wore out.
Of course this was due to 4 hours of play daily for 3 months. I'm hard on my controllers.

Poor cords? Go wireless 
I've had problems with Pellican, Mad Catz and Nyko stuff wearing out WAAAAAAAAY before their time. Gravis has always been good to me though.

If there is a EB Games near you i would say go to them. Pick up a set of used ones for the price of a single new one.
