There is and AI preset you can download which I recommend to adjust their AI from the default settings.
You can also tweak various aspects of each AI.
I've found them (Bots) to be good, definitely the Pilot Bot which obviously has more visibility on it's functioning.
There are maybe close to a dozen Controllers with default support that I recall - I believe the Xbox Controller is one of them as it is more common.
I use the Mouse and Keyboard, so I can't really comment on how a Controller works in game.
