As long as your operating system recognises your joystick you can use any joystick you wish. All you will have to do is configure ShipSim 08 to use the joystick   

Give me a shout if you need to know how to assign the controls

I'm using my Momo racing wheel.
Works perfect and underlines the illusion that I'm a helmsman.

I use a gamepad with 2 analogue controls, it is ideal for twin engine ships / boats as both engines can be controlled independantly.  It is great for the smaller vessels in SS08, but to be honest I prefer to use the mouse / keyboard for the bigger ships.

Saitek Aviator is one that I have and can recomend! Has two throttle leavers (one for each engine ) it's great on both big and small ships!

I use the saitek X52, its got a lot of programmable buttons; so you can don't have to use the keyboard so much..
