Controller to use in EVO

Since I'm going to EVO side tournament for DOA5LR, what is currently difficult for Me to find is a wired PS4 controllers (at least something that can work on a PS4). I know that wireless controllers are banned in EVO, it really feels like there isn't many options for controllers. I'm not looking for Arcade Sticks or d-pads (example Wii U Pro, MKX Fightpad, Xbox One), I want something that is a standard controller like these pics for example.

Anyone have ideas or recommends?

^can confirm that's a bangin controller. Good quality. The only problem I had was the d-pad swiveling randomly, but supah glue fixed it.

I can comment on the 1st and 3rd links you posted.

I've used the Logitech F310 (which is basically the F710 without the rumble) and I noticed 3 flaws in it.
1. Analog sticks are known to have a deadzone that is too large (means that slightly moving the analog stick around the center area does nothing), but the deadzone can be customized by using external programs such as AntiMicro on PC. Of course you won't care about this if you only play fighting games.
2. Triggers are so fucking hard to press, you'll end up mapping these to the least common functions you use in a game (for example taunt in DOA)
3. The D-pad can't take heavy abuse. I broke the down direction in about 3 months, if I try to play with it in its current status my thumb will feel the pain in less than 10 minutes lol. It's also overall inaccurate... they advertise it as "floating d-pad", I call it cheap piece of shit that moves around while using it.
It's pretty cheap so I guess that none of these points are surprising.

About the Xbox 360 controller, the D-pad on it is worst shit there ever was and everyone should know this already, stay away from it.

These pictures are just examples for what kind of controller/d-pad I'm looking for which is why I used F710 & Xbox 360 controllers for ideas. Here is bit of story about Xbox 360 controller was when I played DOA3 on the Xbox 360, it began when I was playing DOA2 Hardcore on PS2 with my controller and when I try to play with the anlog stick when trying to use PPPPP for standard attacks it would end up using F+P instead (even when I'm not press forward) and was not much of a fan of Playstation d-pad especially for majority of 2D fighters or Hayabusa's Izuna Drop. It was same problem with DOA3 with My 360 anlog stick and wound up using d-pad which actually controls pretty well for Me.

All I just wanted for a controller that is comfortable for Me when doing inputs, controllers that work on PS4 even if the controllers are from previous systems or third party, at the very least have wired controller similar to those pictures (they don't have to be Logitech or Xbox 360). Thanks for the advice about these controllers.
