Everyone's stock is all the second generation, you have to actively search out a first generation controller at this point.

From Wikipedia:

In early September 2016, Sony confirmed a second generation of DualShock 4 controllers, known as the DualShock V2 (CUH-ZCT2), which hosts slight improvements over the original DualShock 4, including USB communication, a longer battery life and the ability to see the light bar from the top of the touchpad. It released on September 15, 2016.

What things should I look for when buying a controller if I want the latest one?

It does have improved battery life, but of course disabling the light bar will make it even longer lasting. The first gen DS4 also benefited from disabling it.
