Hey, you laptop DJ kids. The age-old question: Traktor Scratch Pro + the controller of your choice (and which one), or Torq XPonent?

I don't use any sort of external playback device like turntables or CDJs. I'm still fairly naive, technique-wise, but I will need good filter/plugin support, pitch control and timestretching, a decent "vinyl-style" control surface for manual beat matching, and an intuitive library/queue feature. I have no need for scratch emulation. I've auditioned the programs on a software-only basis, so my question is mainly about hardware integration.
I know there are a million billion forums extant, but I'd like the MeCha Perspective.
