Typical/default FPS movement on a controller?

[purf]

...because I need to know, but I honestly don't. Granted, I could just try it myself but I figured asking might be easier. I have an Xbox controller but am also interested in how it's usually done on the analogue PS one.

left analog is aim? right is move? I don't understand the question...

I am working on a project where (1. idea) I want to get FPS movement as FPS-ish as possible. No shooting involved, just some "selecting". And I myself have just never played any FPWhatever with any not-ancient controller, thus I'm having some troubles coming up with a good concept for the mapping of buttons.

So, left stick becomes the mouse, then? Looking around? Makes sense...
Is the movement usually analogue as well? Running speeds and "strafing" in other angles than 90°/45°/0°?

(just realized, this might be better placed in Advice or Offtopic)

Here are a couple typical control setups. Left stick moves, right stick looks around, RT fires LT aims.

Right stick becomes the mouse, unless the user chooses "lefty" configuration.

Also, these will be of help:
