I've tried all 3, mouse, keyboard, and joystick - and I'll take the mouse (in 3rd person view) any day.

Keyboard sucks, because it's not analog and is based off of how long you hold down the key.

Joystick sucks because there is little support in the game. Sure you can bind all the axis and buttons to it - but you can't control sensitivity etc (and it's just buggy, once I had my joystick axis set up everytime I tried to bind a button or key it automatically detected the joystick and put a joy axis in it.. heh)

Once you get used to it, the mouse is awesome - espsecially for bombing. It's a bit harder in first person/cockpit view - but in 3rd person it fits very well. (and honestly, dogfighting seems to be about 2% of your total time in air - the rest is bombing)
