I have used a Mouse Systems Bus Mouse with no problems.  (Of course the 
metal bracket on the board must be bent, but any 1000 hardware hacker knows
about this).

Try them all out before you buy.  It really is a personal thing.  I happen
to like optical mice, but then I had some bad early experiences (circa 1980)
with the mechanical type, and good experiences with optical.  The bad problems
with mechanical mice (namely sticking) seem to be solved, so now it is a
matter of feel.  I also prefer a three button mouse (you don't have to use the
extra button, but its there if you want it); I suppose if I could custom make
a mouse it would have five buttons!
