Keyboard's more durable. Also, it's more easy to replace (I am not paying $39 for another controller) and there are quiet, waterproof variants. You don't have those benefits with the controller.
From my experiences, controller's stick is prone to:
-being stuck in a position, causing your character to move a certain direction (often forward)
-being unresponsive (you try to go forward at full speed but your character moves at a slow pace)
-accidental crouching, not to mention the difficulty to maintain a crouch in some games
-can feel awkward. After some time away from a controller, I have to learn how to wield it again. With the keyboard, I can immediately readjust.
Some of my setups were ruined because of these little inconveniences. I botched a near successful stealth assassination run (5-7 Covies) in Reach because I suddenly came to a stop when I tried sprinting.
