hi. i am about to start a 2 player psx, dc, ps2, pc pad and will be hacking a psx pad and using adaptors. what is the easiest pad to hack and what is the best pad to hack?

I guess you haven't been reading the forum.  As discussed, the PSOne H-Series pad is the best candidate.  The original PSX (old digital only) pads are the easist.  The Only problem with the original PSX pads is some newer PS2 games won't even start because it doesn't see an analog controller (regardless if the game can also use the dpad).  

Dem's your choices.  Search the main board for psone and h-series to read the posts.

nah, i saw that post but i did not see anything in there that referred to quality or ease of any alternate pads. thanks. i don't have an h-series, and it looks pretty hard to hack, but i do have a regular dualshock. is the dualshock any easier to hack then the h-series. thanks for the help for the earlier questions, and thanks in advance for the next series.
Dave_K.:
The h-series PSOne is infact a regular dual shock.  The "h-series" type of dual shock uses a ribbon cable which you can hack for access to all the digital controls (rather than soldering to the button contacts).  That was the point of that thread.  

If you don't have a h-series dual shock, then I guess you are stuck soldering to the button contacts.
