I keep my Wii horizontal, too. The plug part of Gamecube controllers don't fit when I stand it up - because my little gaming... nook, I guess, is too small.
Looks more natural that way, too. But that's just personal preference.

Follow the safety instructions you get when starting every single Wii game and stay a few feet away from it :P
But those instructions have nothing to do with knocking your Wii over and being far away makes it worse. During every Brawl session, someone will inevitably yank a chord and knock the Wii over. Thus, I keep it horizontal, which was actually kind of hard to do because my sister was absolutely convinced that somehow it was safer vertically.
Well, my couch is a precarious distance from my Wii, so either I have to pull the Wii out when playing Brawl, or I have to pull the couch out. Surprisingly, I usually choose couch, because than its at a better angle for TV-viewing.
Half of them are 3rd Party - so I expect that - but four of them are straight from Nintendo. I mean, either the control stick is broken somewhere or the A button sticks or whatever.
Are Wavebirds THAT expensive? I can't begin to imagine. Anyway, all the 3rd party controllers I bought broke. The Nintendo-made controllers however are infinitely more sturdy. I've played like a million hours of Melee and Brawl with the controller that I got out of the Gamecube box. And it still works.
I have 3 official and 1 third party (I didn't buy it...) The third party one sux as it feels really weird in your hands and sometimes it gets stuck inputting a direction when you're not touching the analog. Two officials are perfect. Third official the rubber is starting to come off the analog which can be really annoying in an intense brawl.
