The regs only require the ability to talk to shore, so yes the Sat phones are an acceptable substitute for SSB. See what Sandy said about Globalstar, everyone I know who had globalstar had big problems, most switched over to Iriidium.
What's a PITA about SSB is the copper ground tape that has to run between the tuner and the grounding plate, it corrodes out fairly rapidly (two seasons) and its a PITA to replace.
