Depends on the game. An RTS or FPS is usually going to control better with KB+M. A platformer or beat 'em up is usually best played with a controller. A game made with touch controls or motion controls in mind will be best played the way it was intended. I cannot imagine playing The World Ends with You on anything but a touch screen-based device.
Do you also eat soup with a knife because it's more challenging?
I've done this with ice cream on accident once, but it was a fork. Not a knife. It was doable.
 
Controller, and it's not even close. Motion controls are a distant second if done right, and touch is fine for certain genres.
 
Keyboard and mouse for anything first person or RPGs, RTSes, anything where there's a lot of menu bullshittery or you need to do a lot of actions and selecting of units, etc.

Controller for fighting games, third person action or platformers

Racing wheel for racing games natch
 
Obviously, the perfect choice is to use a VR headset without the hand controllers.
