I prefer keyboard/mouse for most games, however flight sims and other niche titles, a joystick does the job.

I love my cordless setup...leaves me free to jump up and down, and pull away without knocking my system or monitor over.

It all depends on what type of game...

FPS (like Quake) or RTS (like StarCraft): keyboard + mouse
Sports and fighting: gamepad
Flight and space shooter: joystick
