Playing SS in a current game with a JOAT neighbour, I'm scared...

but that game's gone on for way longer than yours I'm thinking

anyhow. JOAT is relatively good at fighting SS. Chances are you'll have a stronger economy than him. See if you can find out what type of econ settings he has. If you believe him to be HP (many SS are), he won't want an early conflict, and so your best bet is either solidify him as a trusted ally or take him out early.

In before ultra stealth cloak, SS can be spotted by seeding the space and planets he is travelling through with many many many scouts. I also place a scout on every one of anyone's production planets (not just SS), if I can get away with it. Then watch his production for dangerous things like stealth bombers, cruisers, really heavy galleons, BBs etc.

If you can find and keep an IS ally alive (if I was SS and I found an IS, it would be either ally with the IS or kill the IS NOW!) up to tachyon detectors, you're set.

In short: Take out early or ally with, many cheap scouts (as LEit said, fuel mizer, fuel tank, no scanner necessary), good intel, IS ally, go for enemy planets.
