Just bought a Joystick and IL-2!

You can assign most things to a stick: if you've got enough buttons of course!
It's all down to personal preferance really: I have my controls all set between my stick, keyboard and mouse but others prefer full hotas.
If you start using teamspeak for online flights etc. then that can also be set up for hotas control by emulating key strokes: just takes a while to get it setup and recognising it all.

Hell, shameless bit of advertising and all that: if you ever find yourself wanting some co-op styled IL2 feel free to check out JG53, link in my sig: there are quite a few subsimmers with us of varying activity levels: Failing that there is always the subsim "lolwaffles" found in one of the stickies at the top of this forum - multiplayer is certainly a lot more challenging and enjoyable than solo play
